Gel Cake Stuffing - put the Sodium alginate into marmalade of cake and bread substituting the pectin, then flavor and nutritional values of the product can be promoted, resist to high temperature and the cost is only one third of pectin.

Sodium alginate panocha adds calcium ion into Sodium alginate liquid which then will form Sodium alginate gel making use of moulding characteristics of the Sodium alginate.

Water Ice and Ice Cream Resisting to High Temperature - Sodium alginate is used as emulsion stabilizer and thickening agent of water ice and ice cream.

Tasty and Refreshing Cold Jelly and Jelly - Gel, composed of Sodium alginate after adding different juices and cane sugars, as well as calcium ion, will not melt while being heated, therefore it can be boiled and sterilized. Making use of characteristics of the gel, transparent, soft and tasty cold jelly can be made.

Bionic Food - man-made jellyfish, egg and grape are available making use of characteristics of gel composed of Sodium alginate and calcium ion.

In food industry
