Answer:

An algin is a substance produced by brown algae used to thicken foods.

Explanation:

Alginic acid is an organic chemical compound found in brown algae. Alginate forms highly viscous solutions in water. An alginate molecule is a copolymer made up of the two sugar units of guluronic acid and mannuronic acid. The ratio of the two sugars to the length of the molecule varies.

Alginate is used in the food industry as a solidifying agent and can in many cases replace gelatin. Therefore, since it is a plant product, it is used in a vegetarian diet.
