It is produced from a wide variety of brown seaweeds of the &#039;&#039;phylum Phaeophyceae&#039;&#039; species and is used especially in the production of gel-like foods. For example, the red [[pepper]] stuffing in prepared cocktail [[olives]] is usually injected as a slurry at the same time that the stone is ejected; the slurry is subsequently set by immersing the [[olive]] in a solution of a calcium [[salt]], which causes rapid gelation by electrostatic cross-linking. A similar process can be used to make &quot;chunks&quot; of everything from cat food through &quot;reformed&quot; [[ham]] or [[fish]] to &quot;[[fruit]]&quot; pieces for pies. <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- PLEASE DELETE INAPPROPRIATE CATEGORIES --&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Molecular gastronomy ingredients]]<br /> [[Category:Prepared foods]]<br /> [[Category:Store cupboard items]]<br /> [[Category:Vitamins, minerals and supplements]]<br /> {{CategoryLineIngredients}}<br /> <br /> &lt;!-- footer hashtags --&gt;&lt;code &#039;hashtagrev:12032020&#039;&gt;[[Special:Search/sodiumalginate|#sodiumalginate]] [[Special:Search/fish|#fish]] [[Special:Search/moleculargastronomy|#moleculargastronomy]] [[Special:Search/ham|#ham]] [[Special:Search/olives|#olives]] [[Special:Search/fruit|#fruit]] [[Special:Search/calciumchloride|#calciumchloride]] [[Special:Search/preparedfoods|#preparedfoods]] [[Special:Search/olive|#olive]] [[Special:Search/moleculargastronomyingredients|#moleculargastronomyingredients]] [[Special:Search/storecupboarditems|#storecupboarditems]] <br /> &lt;/code&gt;&lt;!-- /footer hashtags --&gt;</div>
