Carrageenan is a soluble fiber hydrophilic colloid .It is mainly obtained from the seaweeds of the red algae. It is a natural polysaccharide hydrocolloid extracted from marineplant red algae, whichis generally white to light yellow powder, odorless andtasteless. Carrageenan has good water solubilityand can be completeldissolved at 80'c. The gel formed is a thermally reversible gel, i.e. the gel melts intosolution when heated, and the gel can be formed again when the solutionis cooled.
Carrageenan is widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent, suspending agent, thickening, emulsification, stabilization, water retention, extension of shelf life, and low calorie content. It is also used for cost reduction and added value.
Carrageenan is widely used in the production of jellies, jams and dairy products, yogurts, cheeses, ice cream, salad dressing, candies, meat products, etc. It can also used in makeup, solid scented agents, pet food and more.
