Review: Perfect - This worked great for making a science project
Review: Beats the capsules - Requires a lot of mixing, but that is normal. I use as a reflux raft. Mixing 1/2 tsp with a small amount of hot water, shaking or mixing up untill dissolved, then adding 8 0z crystal light drink. And shaking again, let sit for a while. I will try with a blender next time cuz I think that will work a little better.

## Features

- Enhances Texture in Sauces & Dressings: Provides a smooth, thick consistency in salad dressings, sauces, and gravies while preventing ingredient separation. It’s a great natural alternative to synthetic thickeners.
- Prevents Ice Crystallization in Frozen Foods: Used in ice creams and sorbets, it helps retain smoothness and prevents unwanted crystallization, ensuring a creamy and consistent texture.
- Perfect for Spherification & Molecular Gastronomy: A key ingredient for reverse and direct spherification, Sodium Alginate helps create liquid-filled spheres with a thin gel membrane, widely used in modernist cooking.
- Easy to Use: Dissolves in cold liquids with blending. For spherification, mix with the liquid base and use with a calcium solution for gel formation. In sauces, use approximately 0.5–1% by weight to achieve desired consistency.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture to prevent clumping and maintain its thickening properties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What does sodium alginate do in cooking?**
A: It acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent that improves texture, adds viscosity, and helps stabilize sauces, dressings, and desserts.

**Q: How does sodium alginate form spheres (spherification)?**
A: When mixed with calcium ions, sodium alginate forms a gel membrane around a liquid, creating edible spheres or ‘pearls’ used in molecular gastronomy.

**Q: Do I need heat to use sodium alginate?**
A: No, it dissolves in cold or warm liquids with blending and can form gels without heat, making it easy to use for modern cooking techniques.

**Q: Can sodium alginate improve texture in foods beyond spherification?**
A: Yes, it stabilizes food products by helping retain moisture, preventing separation, and enhancing mouthfeel in dairy, ice cream, sauces, and even some baked goods.
