seaweed extracts
English Name: Seaweed Extracts
Botanical Source: Derived from a variety of seaweed species including brown algae (like kelp), green algae, and red algae. These seaweeds are sustainably harvested from oceans or cultivated in controlled marine environments.
Specification
Active Ingredient: Alginate ≥ [X]% (HPLC-tested), depending on the grade and intended application, typically ranging from 20% - 50%. Alginate is a key component in seaweed extracts, responsible for many of its functional properties. The given format example was incorrect as it referenced an unrelated compound; this is tailored to seaweed extracts.
Purity: High, with minimal contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and microplastics, meeting strict international quality and safety standards.
Appearance
It commonly presents as a dark green to brown powder. When dissolved in water, it can form a viscous solution, which may vary in color from light green to brownish, depending on the concentration. The original reference to a yellow oily liquid is not typical for most seaweed extracts; this appearance is more common based on the nature of the extraction and drying processes.
CAS Number:Alginate has a CAS number of 9005-38-3.
Lead time: 3 - 7 Working Days. This can be adjusted slightly depending on the volume of the order and the production schedule. Generally, efficient production processes are in place to ensure timely delivery to customers.
Packaging: 25kg/drum, with 27 drums/tray. The drums are made of food-grade plastic or metal, designed to protect the product from moisture, light, and physical damage during storage and transportation. This packaging format is convenient for bulk handling and storage in warehouses.
Main Market: European, North America, Asia etc. Seaweed extracts have a broad global demand. In Europe, they are popular in the food and cosmetics industries for their natural and sustainable attributes. In North America, they are increasingly used in health supplements. In Asia, with a long history of seaweed consumption, they are utilized in traditional medicine, food, and modern cosmetic formulations.
ApplicationsHealth Supplements:
As an antioxidant, it scavenges free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress damage, which is linked to various chronic diseases. Some studies suggest it may enhance metabolism by improving thyroid function, as iodine, often present in seaweed, is crucial for thyroid hormone production. While more research is needed for the cancer preventive claim, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties show potential.
Cosmetics:
In anti-aging creams, alginate forms a protective film on the skin, helping to retain moisture and improve skin elasticity. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin, making it suitable for skin-soothing lotions.
Food Industry:
It is a natural thickener and stabilizer, used in products like dairy desserts, salad dressings, and sauces to improve texture. In some cases, it can act as a natural preservative, inhibiting the growth of spoilage microorganisms. When added to functional beverages, it provides a source of minerals and other beneficial compounds, enhancing the nutritional profile.

6. Product Characteristics
Seaweed extracts are a rich blend of bioactive compounds sourced from various seaweed species. They can appear as powders, gels, or liquids, depending on the extraction and processing methods. The extracts carry a characteristic marine scent that can be adjusted or masked in formulations. Rich in polysaccharides, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants, they offer a natural reservoir of health and beauty benefits.
7. Production Process
The production journey begins with the careful selection of seaweed from sustainable oceanic farms. After harvesting, the seaweed is thoroughly washed to remove sand, salt, and other impurities. Then, extraction techniques such as enzymatic hydrolysis, supercritical fluid extraction, or traditional solvent extraction are employed, depending on the target compounds. The resulting extract undergoes multiple rounds of purification, using filtration, centrifugation, and chromatography. Finally, it is concentrated and packaged in suitable containers, ready for use.
