Product Description Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from various species of red seaweed, also known as marine algae. It is a linear sulfated polysaccharide composed of repeating galactose units and 3,6-anhydrogalactose, which are linked by alternating alpha-1,3 and beta-1,4 glycosidic linkages. The specific structure and properties of carrageenan vary depending on the seaweed species and environmental factors. Carrageenan is renowned for its ability to form gels, making it a valuable ingredient in various industries, especially the food industry. It is commonly used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in a wide range of food products, including desserts, dairy products, processed meats, and sauces. The different types of carrageenans, such as kappa, iota, and lambda, offer varying gel textures and functionalities, allowing for versatile applications in food formulations.
