Alginate was discovered by British chemical scientist E. C. C. Stanford in 1881, and he patented an extraction process for it in the same year. [4] The alginate was extracted, in the original patent, by first soaking the algae in water or diluted acid, then extracting the alginate by soaking it in sodium carbonate , and finally precipitating ...
Syneresis (also spelled 'synæresis' or 'synaeresis'), in chemistry, is the extraction or expulsion of a liquid from a gel, such as when serum drains from a contracting clot of blood. Another example of syneresis is the collection of whey on the surface of yogurt .
To extract the alginate, the seaweed is broken into pieces and stirred with a hot solution of an alkali, usually sodium carbonate. Over a period of about two hours, the alginate dissolves as sodium alginate to give a very thick slurry. This slurry also contains the part of the seaweed that does not dissolve, mainly cellulose.
Adsorption on glass, alginate beads or matrix: Enzyme is attached to the outside of an inert material. In general, this method is the slowest among those listed here. As adsorption is not a chemical reaction, the active site of the immobilized enzyme may be blocked by the matrix or bead, greatly reducing the activity of the enzyme. [9]

Extraction in chemistry is a separation process consisting of the separation of a substance from a matrix. The distribution ...
Schröder has averaged 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game this season, his first full one with the Nets. They traded for him midway through last season with the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors ...
The countdown to Christmas is on, but the threat of delayed packages could dampen the holiday spirit. Winter storms, out-of-stock items, ground shipping risks and a host of other issues could ...
Alginate, a kelp-derived carbohydrate, is used to thicken products such as ice cream, jelly, salad dressing, and toothpaste, as well as an ingredient in exotic dog food and in manufactured goods. [44] [45] [46] Alginate powder is also used frequently in general dentistry and orthodontics for making impressions of the upper and lower arches. [47]
