What does Sodium Alginate do and how do I use it?

Sodium alginate performs two functions one it thickens a solution to increase the viscosity and two it binds tightly to calcium to form a gel. This binding is used by chefs the world over to make fake caviar or spheres. These spheres can be small tight drops or quite large blobs with liquid centres. The man who took this technique from the food technologists and made it main stream was Catalan chef Ferran Adria, of the elBulli restaurant. Ferran named this process spherification. There are a number of calcium powders that can be used for this spherification process. The popular ones are Calcium Chloride, Calcium Lactate, Calcium Gluconolactate and Calcium Carbonate.
