Popular questions
  1. How to connect wifi in lg e400?

    This question is about an LG phone; E400 here refers to alginic acid, a seaweed-derived food thickener and stabilizer.

  2. How to format lg e400 phone?

    This is about an LG phone; E400 is alginic acid, used in foods as a thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier, humectant, and stabiliser.

  3. How to update lg e400 software?

    This is about a phone, but E400 denotes alginic acid—a seaweed-derived additive used to thicken and stabilize foods, not a software version.

  4. Acid gone how much alginic acid?

    It varies by product; alginate-based reflux antacids typically contain several hundred milligrams of alginic acid/sodium alginate per dose—check the specific product label for the exact amount.

  5. Alginic acid how stuff works?

    Alginic acid is a polysaccharide from brown seaweed that binds water to form a viscous gel; in antacids with bicarbonate it forms a buoyant “raft” that floats on stomach contents to help reduce reflux.

  1. Is propylene glycol alginate bad for you?

    No—propylene glycol alginate (E405) is approved in the EU and US and is generally considered safe at permitted levels; most people tolerate it well, though very high intakes may cause mild digestive upset in some individuals.

  2. What is propylene glycol alginate made from?

    It’s made by reacting alginic acid extracted from brown seaweed (kelp) with propylene glycol. Some remaining acid groups may be neutralized with alkali (e.g., sodium).

  3. How do they make propylene glycol alginate?

    Manufacturers extract alginic acid from brown seaweed, purify it, then partially esterify it with propylene glycol under controlled conditions. The material is then neutralized as needed, dried, and milled into a powder.

  4. How is propylene glycol alginate made?

    By partially esterifying seaweed-derived alginic acid with propylene glycol, leaving some carboxyl groups free or neutralized with alkali, then drying the product. This process yields an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener used in foods.

  5. How to fix e405 fuel comms error?

    That appears to be a device/vehicle fault code unrelated to the food additive E405 (propylene glycol alginate); consult your equipment manual or the manufacturer’s support for troubleshooting.
