Sodium alginate is a by-product after iodine and mannitol are extracted from kelp or sargassum of brown algae, and its molecule
consists of β-D-mannuronic (β-D-mannuronic, M) and α-L-guluronic (α-L-guluronic, G) connected by (1→4) bond, which is a kind
of natural polysaccharides, with the stability, solubility, adhesion, and safety of excipients required for the pharmaceutical preparations
and safety. Sodium alginate has been widely used in the food industry and pharmaceutical field.
