Can someone advise on viscosity vs molecular weight of sodium alginate?

12 December 2013 0 8K Report

I am wondering whether the level of viscosity affect the molecular weight of alginate? Let's say low viscosity have lower molecular weight, medium viscosity have higher molecular weight, true or false?
