Effect of temperature and extraction time on the process to obtain sodium alginate from Macrocystis pyrifera

The alkaline extraction step of the process to obtain sodium alginate from Macrocystu pyrifera was investigated. We compared cold (28°C) and hot (80°C) treatments to determine the effect of extraction temperature on the yield and viscosity of the final product, using samples collected in Bahia Tort...
