Natural Polymer Market Overview

Natural polymers are materials that have been derived from living organisms. Alginic acid is one such natural polymer that is extracted from brown algae. It is a linear polysaccharide composed of beta-1,4-linked D-mannuronic and L-guluronic acid residues. This acid can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a food additive, thickener, or emulsifier.

There are several factors that are driving the growth of the alginic acid market in Canada. These include the growing demand for natural products, the increasing use of alginates in food and pharmaceutical applications, and the availability of raw materials.
