UNII 0E53J927NA - MAGNESIUM CARBONATE

Magnesium carbonate, MgCO3 (archaic name magnesia alba), is an inorganic salt. The most common magnesium carbonate forms are the anhydrous salt called magnesite (MgCO3) and the di, tri, and pentahydrates known as barringtonite (MgCO3ยท2 H2O), nesquehonite (MgCO3ยท3 H2O), and lansfordite (MgCO3ยท5 H2O), respectively. The primary use of magnesium carbonate is the production of magnesium oxide by calcining.

3 Alginic acid
UNII 8C3Z4148WZ - ALGINIC ACID

Alginic acid is a polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae which is hydrophilic and forms a viscous gum when hydrated. Its salts with metals such as sodium and calcium are known as alginates. It is a significant component of the biofilms produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major pathogen found in the lungs of some people who have cystic fibrosis. The biofilm and P. aeruginosa have a high resistance to antibiotics and are susceptible to inhibition by macrophages.
