Applications:

  1. Spherification: One of the most well-known applications of sodium alginate is spherification, a technique used to create liquid-filled spheres. These spheres, often referred to as "caviar" or "pearls," can be made with different flavors and textures and are commonly used in fine dining and culinary experiments.

  2. Dairy Products: Sodium alginate is used in the production of dairy products like ice cream, yogurt, and whipped toppings. It helps improve stability, texture, and mouthfeel.
