Key Features of Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA):

  1. Thickening Agent: PGA acts as a thickener by increasing the viscosity of liquid formulations. It helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of food products.

  2. Stabilizer: PGA functions as a stabilizing agent by preventing ingredient separation in products such as beverages, dressings, and sauces. It assists in maintaining a consistent and homogeneous mixture.

  3. Emulsifier: PGA has emulsifying properties, enabling it to create and stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. This makes it useful in various food products where the incorporation of oil or fat is necessary.

  4. pH Stability: PGA remains stable across a wide range of pH levels, making it suitable for use in acidic as well as alkaline food formulations.

Common Applications of Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA):

  1. Beverages: PGA is commonly used in the beverage industry, particularly in carbonated drinks, fruit juices, and dairy-based beverages. It helps improve the texture, mouthfeel, and stability of these products.

  2. Salad Dressings and Sauces: PGA is utilized in salad dressings, mayonnaise, and sauces to provide thickness and prevent ingredient separation, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency.

  3. Bakery Products: PGA can be found in bakery items like bread, cakes, and pastries as a dough conditioner and stabilizer. It helps improve the dough's elasticity and shelf life.

  4. Dairy Products: PGA is used in dairy-based products such as yogurt, cream, and ice cream to enhance texture, stabilize emulsions, and prevent syneresis (liquid separation).

  5. Other Applications: PGA may also be used in applications outside of the food industry, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products, where its thickening and stabilizing properties are valuable.
