Alginate is a co-polymer extracted from some types ofbrown algae and it is made up of two uronic acids:D-mannuronic acid and L-guluronic acid. Polyvalent cationsare responsible for interchain and intrachain reticulationsbecause they are tied to the polymer when two guluronicacid residuals are close[r]
