Carrageenan

"Carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid extracted from marine red algae, such as Irish moss and Gigartina. It is a natural polysaccharide, and its primary raw materials include Eucheuma and Kappaphycus. The color of carrageenan is generally white to light yellow powder ,with no odor or taste. Carrageenan can completely dissolve in water at 80°C, forming a thermoreversible gel. This means that the gel can melt into a solution when heated and re-form into a gel when the solution cools. Carrageenan has a synergistic effect with other colloids like konjac gum and locust bean gum, significantly altering their gel properties and enhancing gel elasticity and water retention. General Applications: • Jelly Pudding • Meat Products • Gummies • Dairy Products • Frozen Drinks • Pet Food • Soft Capsules"
