This study examined the rheological properties of alginates, one of the main products obtained from algae. These polysaccharides are widely used in fields such as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, cosmetics, food, agriculture and the textile and paper industries. Therefore, sodium alginate was obtained from waterweed (Charophyceae) in the following experiment. The structure and composition of the sodium alginate were analyzed using physical and chemical research methods: IR spectroscopy and XRD.
