OverviewCommercial alginates are extracted primarily from three species of brown algae (kelp). These include Laminaria hyperborea, Ascophyllum nodosum, and Macrocystis pyrifera. Other sources include Laminaria japonica, Eclonia maxima, Lesonia negrescens and Sargassum species. In all of these algae, alginate is the primary polysaccharide present and it may comprise up to 40% of the dry weight. Alginate is found in the intracellular matrix where it exists as a mixed salt of various cations found in seawater such as Mg2], Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and Na+. The native alginate is mainly present as an insoluble Ca2+ cross-linked gel. Bacterial alginates have also been isolated form Azotobacter vinelandii and several Pseudomonas species.
