Correlation of the specific viscosity of alginate against lipase inhibition in the reaction mixture. The specific viscosity of each reaction mixture for the lipase activity assay containing 3.43 mg/ml was measures with a Contraves low shear 30. The error bars are the standard error of the mean of three replicated. The line of best fit is to indicate the direction of correlation, if any. A correlation analysis indicated a Sprearman r value of −0.27.
