Seaweed Alginates Have a High Viscosity and Water Absorbing Ability

Seaweed and kelp can withstand rough currents without tearing due to the soft, yet tough condition of their tissue. Seaweed alginate reacts to minerals in the sea, such as calcium, turning it into a jelly-like mass that is absorbed into and softens seaweed cells. Also, alginate’s ability to absorb water quickly allows dried seaweed to expand when they absorb water.

Seaweed’s capacity for water absorption is used to create moisturizing cosmetic products that prevent dry skin.

Seaweed alginate functioning can be used to develop targeted drug delivery systems and effective time-lapsed absorption. Also, alginate’s viscosity can be utilized to manufacture adhesive for coloring fabrics, for pet food, as well as for the development of synthetic seeds produced from pieces of tissue in alginate beads.
