Calcium Alginate Usage And Synthesis
DescriptionCalcium Alginate is the calcium salt of alginic acid, a natural polyuronide constituent of certain brown algae. Calcium alginate is prepared by the neutralization of purified alginic acid with appropriate pH control agents, or from sodium alginate by metathesis with appropriate calcium salts.
Alginate, a colloidal polyuronic acid structural molecule capable of gelation, is used in the preparation of colloidal biodegradable structures such as gels, biofilms, beads, nanoparticles, and microcapsules suitable for applications that range from gel based separation technologies to drug delivery and cell preservation.
Calcium alginate has been around for years. More recently, it has been added to wound gels, hydrocolloids, and cleansers. Silver, a known antimicrobial agent, also has been added to many wound products, including calcium alginate. Unadulterated calcium alginate comes in the form of a flat square or mat (in many sizes) or a rope. The ropes can be manipulated to fit easily in wound cavities. Although one of its stated uses is to provide homeostasis, calcium alginate is more commonly thought of as the dressing that can absorb 20 times its weight in exudate, soak up loose debris from the wound bed, provide an optimal environment for healing, and provide a painless dressing change. This study is a reminder that calcium alginate is a valuable tool in our wound care arsenal.
Chemical PropertiesCalcium alginate is an odorless or almost odorless, tasteless, white to pale yellowish-brown powder or fibers.
UsesCalcium Alginate is the calcium salt of alginic acid which functions as a stabilizer and thickener. the partial obtainment of calcium alg- inate by the reaction of the water-soluble alginate with calcium ions is used to obtain viscosity and gel formation. it is used in icings, imitation pulp, dessert gels, and fabricated fruits.
Usescalcium alginate is used as a visual accent in cosmetics. This is an alginate gel impregnated with an oily core material that can be pigmented or neutral in color. It can also be used to mask odor and adjust product viscosity.
UsesAlginate is used in many applications and new ones are being found all the time. The uses range from applications in the food industry to wound dressings, medicines and dental impression materials.
  1. Calcium alginate (the cross-linked polymer) is used in wound dressings. These dressings are particularly useful for slow healing wounds like leg ulcers, which can continue to bleed and weep for a long time. Part of the blood clotting mechanism involves calcium ions and on contact with blood the calcium alginate releases calcium ions in exchange for sodium ions – just as you observed in the experiment above. These extra calcium ions can help the blood to clot and encourage healing. It is easy to remove any excess calcium alginate when the dressing has to be changed.
  2. Calcium alginate dressings with silver have been found to be safe and effective for use for leg ulcers.
  3. Calcium alginate dressings are made from salts of alginic acid obtained from algae (Phaeophyceae sp.j found in seaweed. They are known for absorbing excess wound exudate and forming a non-adherent gel, which accelerates wound healing by promoting a moist wound healing environment, facilitating debridement, and helping to prevent trauma to the wound bed and the surrounding skin (Fanucci and Seese, 1991).
  4. Calcium alginate dressings are used on moderate to heavily exudative wounds during the transition from debridement to repair phase of wound healing (Seymour, 1997, Joël et al., 2002). Dry wounds should not be treated with these dressings because they have no hydrating properties.
Production MethodsCalcium alginate can be obtained from seaweed, mainly species of Laminaria.
Solutions of sodium alginate interact with an ionized calcium salt, resulting in the instantaneous precipitation of insoluble calcium alginate, which can then be further processed. Introducing varying proportions of sodium ions during manufacture can produce products having different absorption rates.
Pharmaceutical ApplicationsIn pharmaceutical formulations, calcium alginate and calciumsodium alginate have been used as tablet disintegrants. The use of a high concentration (10%) of calcium-sodium alginate has been reported to cause slight speckling of tablets.
A range of different types of delivery systems intended for oral administration have been investigated. These exploit the gelling properties of calcium alginate. Calcium alginate beads have been used to prepare floating dosage systems containing amoxicillin, furosemide, meloxicam, and barium sulfate,(10) and as a means of providing a sustained or controlled-release action for sulindac, diclofenac, tiaramide, insulin, and ampicillin. The effect of citric acid in prolonging the gastric retention of calcium alginate floating dosage forms has been reported. Impregnating meloxicam in calcium alginate beads may reduce the risk of ulceration and mucosal inflammation following oral adminstration. The use of calcium alginate beads, reinforced with chitosan, has been shown to slow the release of verapamil, and may be useful for the controlled release of protein drugs to the gastrointestinal tract. The bioadhesive properties, swelling and drug release of calcium alginate beads have also been investigated.
A series of studies investigating the production, formulation,) and drug release from calcium alginate matrices for oral administration have been published. The release of diltiazem hydrochloride from a polyvinyl alcohol matrix was shown to be controlled by coating with a calcium alginate membrane; the drug release profile could be modified by increasing the coating thickness of the calcium alginate layer. The microencapsulation of live attenuated Bacillus Calmette–Guerin (BCG) cells within a calcium alginate matrix has also been reported.
It has been shown that a modified drug release can be obtained from calcium alginate microcapsules, pellets, and microspheres. When biodegradable bone implants composed of calcium alginate spheres and containing gentamicin were introduced into the femur of rats, effective drug levels in bone and soft tissue were obtained for 30 days and 7 days, respectively. The incorporation of radioactive particles into calcium alginate gels may be useful for the localized delivery of radiation therapy to a wide range of organs and tissues.
Therapeutically, the gelling properties of calcium alginate are utilized in wound dressings in the treatment of leg ulcers, pressure sores, and other exuding wounds. These dressings are highly absorbent and are suitable for moderately or heavily exuding wounds. Calcium alginate dressings also have hemostatic properties, with calcium ions being exchanged for sodium ions in the blood; this stimulates both platelet activation and whole blood coagulation. A mixed calcium–sodium salt of alginic acid is used as fibers in dressings or wound packing material.
Sterile powder consisting of a mixture of calcium and sodium alginates has been used in place of talc in glove powders.
In foods, calcium alginate is used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer.
Safety ProfilePoison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
SafetyCalcium alginate is widely used in oral and topical formulations, and in foods.
In 1974, the WHO set an estimated acceptable daily intake of calcium alginate of up to 25 mg, as alginic acid, per kilogram bodyweight.
When heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
LD50 (rat, IP): 1.41 g/kg
LD50 (rat, IV): 0.06 g/kg
storageCalcium alginate can be sterilized by autoclaving at 1158℃ for 30 minutes or by dry heat at 1508℃ for 1 hour. Calcium alginate should be stored in airtight containers.
IncompatibilitiesCalcium alginate is incompatible with alkalis and alkali salts. Propranolol hydrochloride has been shown to bind to alginate molecules, suggesting that propranolol and calcium ions share common binding sites in the alginate chains; the formation of the calcium alginate gel structure was impeded in the presence of propranolol molecules.
Regulatory StatusGRAS listed. Accepted for use as a food additive in Europe. Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral tablets). Included in nonparenteral medicines licensed in the UK.
