Alginic acid or Algin or Alginate: CAS Number: 9005-32-7, EINECS EC Number: 232-680-1, Molecular Formula: (C6H8O6)n, Molecular Weight: Varies, HS Code 39131090 or 39131000

Alginic acid, also called algin, is a polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae that is hydrophilic and forms a viscous gum when hydrated. Alginate absorbs water quickly, which makes it useful as an additive in dehydrated products such as slimming aids, and in the manufacture of paper and textiles. It also is used for waterproofing and fireproofing fabrics, in the food industry as a thickening agent for drinks, ice cream, cosmetics, and as a gelling agent for jellies. Sodium alginate is mixed with soybean flour to make meat analogue. Alginate is also used as an ingredient in various pharmaceutical preparations.

Alginic acid CAS 9005-32-7

DEFINITION
Alginic Acid is a hydrophilic colloidal carbohydrate extracted with dilute alkali from various species of brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae).

IDENTIFICATION
A.
Analysis: To 5 mL of a 1-in-150 solution in 0.1 N sodium hydroxide add 1 mL of calcium chloride.
Acceptance criteria: A voluminous, gelatinous precipitate is formed.
B.
Analysis: To 5 mL of a 1-in-150 solution in 0.1 N sodium hydroxide add 1 mL of 4 N sulfuric acid.
Acceptance criteria: A heavy, gelatinous precipitate is formed.
C.
Analysis: To 5 mg in a test tube add 5 mL of water, 1 mL of a freshly prepared 1-in-100 solution of 1,3-naphthalenediol in alcohol, and 5 mL of hydrochloric acid. Heat the mixture to boiling, boil gently for 3 min, then cool to 15 c. Transfer the contents of the test tube to a 30-mL separator with the aid of 5 mL of water, and extract with 15 mL of isopropyl ether.
Acceptance criteria: The isopropyl ether extract exhibits a deeper purplish hue than that from a blank, similarly prepared.

Arsenic: NMT 3 ppm
Lead:
Standard solution: 5 mL of Diluted Standard Lead Solution
Test preparation: Add 1.0 g to 20 mL of nitric acid in a 250-mL conical flask, mix, and heat carefully until the Alginic Acid is dissolved. Continue heating until the volume is reduced to 7 mL. Cool rapidly to room temperature, transfer to a 100-mL volumetric flask, and dilute with water to volume.
Analysis: Use 50.0 mL of the Test preparation, and proceed as directed in the chapter, using 15 mL of ammonium citrate solution, 3 mL of potassium cyanide solution, and 0.5 mL of hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution. After the first dithizone extraction, wash the combined chloroform layers with 5 mL of water, discarding the water layer and continuing in the usual manner by extracting with 20 mL of 0.2 N nitric acid.
Acceptance criteria: NMT 5 µg of lead (corresponding to NMT 10 ppm)
Microbial Enumeration Tests and Tests for Specified Microorganisms: The total aerobic microbial count does not exceed 2 x 102 cfu/g, and the tests for Salmonella species and Escherichia coli are negative.
pH: 1.5 to 3.5, in a 3-in-100 dispersion in water
Loss on Drying: Dry a sample at 105C for 4 h: it loses NMT 15.0% of its weight.
Articles of Botanical Origin, Total Ash:
Sample: 4 g of Alginic Acid
Analysis: Proceed as directed in the chapter, carefully igniting the Sample in a tared platinum dish, until the residue is thoroughly carbonized (5 min). Then ignite in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 800±25C until the carbon is completely burned off (20 to 35 min).
Acceptance criteria: NMT 4.0% of ash
Fats and Fixed Oils, Acid Value:
Sample: 1 g of Alginic Acid
Analysis: Suspend the Sample in a mixture of 50 mL of water and 30.0 mL of calcium acetate solution (11 in 250). Shake thoroughly, allow the mixture to stand for 1 h, and add phenolphthalein TS. Titrate the liberated acetic acid with 0.1 N sodium hydroxide. Perform a blank determination, and calculate the Acid Value:
Result = [(V S - V B) x N x F]/W

V S = volume of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide consumed in the titration of the Sample (mL)
V B = volume of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide consumed in the titration of the blank (mL)
N = normality of sodium hydroxide (mEq/mL)
F = equivalency factor of potassium hydroxide, 56.11 (mg/mEq)
W = weight of Alginic Acid taken (g)
Acceptance criteria: NLT 230 on the dried basis

Action and use: Treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; excipient; thickening agent.
