Carrageenan

 Carrageenan is a white or off-white, odorless powder, extracted mainly from Chondrus ocellatus, Kappahycus alvarezii and Eucheuma cottonii. It has a high water solubility which is completely dissolved at 80℃ to form a heat reversible gel, i.e. turns into solution when heated, forms a gel when cooled down.

Carrageenan has been used as a natural food additive all over the world for long history. Carrageenan has gelling, thickening, emulsifying, membrane and stabilizing properties. When carrageenan is applied in combination with other food gels(e.g. LBG, konjac, etc.), the synergies between them can greatly improve the gelling effect, contributing to a higher gel elasticity and better water rentention.

As a gelling agent, thickening agent or suspending agent, cattageenan is widely used in the production of jellies, chewy candies, beverages, meat products, dairy products, baking products, and sauces. The 70% total dietary fiber content also makes carrageenan a popular material in nutritional foods.
