Sodium Alginate (E401) is extracted from brown seaweed. It is used as a stabilizer for ice cream, yogurt, cream, and cheese. It acts as a thickener and emulsifier for salad, pudding, jam, tomato juice, and canned products. It is a hydration agent for noodles, bread, cool and frozen products. In the presence of calcium and acid mediums, it forms resilient gels. It is a cold gelling agent that needs no heat to gel. It is most commonly used with calcium lactate or calcium chloride in the spherification process. Review: The low carb noodle making science - Missing pasta. Well this ingredient helps make a nice substitute. It is not pasta, but is a better substitute than some of the other crazy noodles out there for low carb diets. This is expensive, so I tried the small packet set of calcium and Alginate first. My husband’s face lights up when he sees me making these noodles. They are more like a ramen noodle and hold up well. Review: Must boil for many hours before usable. Then, ... - Must boil for many hours before usable. Then, it coats everything quickly, very hard to remove from utensils used for boiling. ## Features - 100% Food Grade (beware cheap industrial grade products not meant for human consumption) - Made from natural brown seaweed - The ideal viscosity for both direct and reverse spherification - ✡ Highest Quality Assured by Strict Orthodox Union Certification Standards - Perfect for Molecular Gastronomy and Modernist Cooking applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00GDHU1EE | | Best Sellers Rank | #103,088 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #138 in Baking Soda | | Brand | Modernist Pantry | | Brand Name | Modernist Pantry | | Coin Variety 1 | Sodium Alginate | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 297 Reviews | | Diet Type | Kosher | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.43 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 400 Grams | | Item weight | 400 Grams | | Manufacturer | Modernist Pantry | | Material Features | GMO Free | | Material features | GMO Free | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | HU-XI-201 | | Size | 14.11 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | GMO Free | | UPC | 819543011011 | | Unit Count | 414.03 Milliliters | | Unit count | 414.03 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Modernist Pantry - **Item weight:** 400 Grams - **Material features:** GMO Free - **Specialty:** GMO Free - **Unit count:** 414.03 Milliliters ## Images ![Modernist Pantry Pure Sodium Alginate (Molecular Gastronomy) ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61tpkDeJV0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What else do I need to make caviar pearls and boba spheres with sodium alginate?** A: You need a calcium salt (calcium chloride for direct spherification, calcium lactate for reverse). We sell value packs with both ingredients included plus step-by-step instructions. Free video tutorials on our Kitchen Alchemy YouTube channel. **Q: How do I know this sodium alginate is truly food-grade and safe to use in cooking?** A: Every batch is Non-GMO, Vegan, and OU Kosher Certified with full technical specs (viscosity, mesh size). We provide Certificate of Analysis, Safety Data Sheet, and Product Spec upon request. Our certifications are verified — not just label claims. **Q: Can I use sodium alginate for anything besides making caviar pearls and boba?** A: Absolutely. Use it as a natural thickener for pie fillings, sauces, and dressings. Make keto noodles, improve ice cream texture, or create culinary foams. Beyond cooking, it's popular for tie-dye fabric art, bath bombs, and STEM science experiments. **Q: How much sodium alginate do I need, and how long does it last once opened?** A: A little goes a long way — one 50g pouch makes about 17 cups of spherification solution. Stored sealed in a cool, dry place, it lasts practically indefinitely. Each pouch is resealable. Most home cooks find the 50g size gives months of experimenting. **Q: Can sodium alginate help with acid reflux, GERD, or LPR (laryngopharyngeal reflux)?** A: Sodium alginate is known for forming a "raft" that floats on stomach contents, which may help manage reflux symptoms. This is a food-grade ingredient, not a supplement or medication. Consult your doctor for medical advice about GERD or LPR treatment. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The low carb noodle making science *by M***E on 29 January 2026* Missing pasta.

Then, it coats everything quickly, very hard to remove from utensils used for boiling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by T***H on 8 September 2021* The sodium alginate from Modernist Pantry is a good value, and there were no problems with service or speed of delivery. There's not much to say about the product, it's just what it claims to be: sodium alginate. I mix a small amount with baking soda to treat acid reflux. I don't detect any strange taste, and it gels like it's supposed to. Good product, and I won't hesitate to buy from Modernist Pantry LLC when this supply runs out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pure Sodium Alginate (Molecular Gastronomy) ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz - Pure Calcium Lactate ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz - Pure Calcium Chloride ⊘ Non-GMO Vegan OU Kosher Certified - 400g/14oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/509420491-modernist-pantry-pure-sodium-alginate-molecular-gastronomy-non-gmo-vegan](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/509420491-modernist-pantry-pure-sodium-alginate-molecular-gastronomy-non-gmo-vegan) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
