Nature, 1946 VARIOUS attempts have been described1 to acetylate alginic acid by means of acetic anhydride or acetic acid, without or with catalysts, for example, pyridine, acids, etc. Some of the products thus obtained were probably degraded, and it appeared of interest, therefore, to find out whether the acetylation of alginic acid can be done by a relatively mild

Daily ingestion of alginate reduces energy intake in free-living subjects [PDF]
, 2008 Sodium alginate is a seaweed-derived fibre that has previously been shown to moderate appetite in models of acute feeding. The mechanisms underlying this effect may include slowed gastric clearance and attenuated uptake from the small intestine. In order
