The invention is applicable to the technical field of preparation of food additives, and provides a preparation method of thermally reversible self-gelling
sodium alginate hydrogel, which comprises the following steps: S1, crushing
raw material brown algae, digesting, and filtering with a plate frame to obtain a
sodium alginate solution; s2, carrying out step-by-step enrichment, centrifuging to obtain a precipitate, and screening to obtain high-G-segment
sodium alginate; s3, dissolving the obtained
sodium alginate, breaking molecular chain entanglement through high-speed shearing, standing, and forming physical gel by rearranging
hydrogen bonds and chain segments; preferably, the
raw material of the
sodium alginate is one of
kelp palmata, extremely northern sea zone,
ascophyllum nodosum,
kelp LN,
kelp LF or gulfweed; preferably, the
digestion time in the step S1 is 4-8 hours, the
digestion temperature is 50-60 DEG C, and the alkali amount for
digestion is 10-30% of the
mass ratio of the solution; preferably, the alkali for digestion is one of
sodium carbonate,
sodium hydroxide,
sodium oxalate or
trisodium phosphate. The prepared product can be widely applied to minimally invasive injection and biological 3D printing.
