Carrageenan is a soluble fiber hydrophilic colloid .It is mainly obtained from the seaweeds of the red algae. It is a natural food ingredient that has been used in cooking wordwide for hundreds of years. when used in combination with other food gels such as locust bean gum, konjac gum, etc., it can exhibit significant synergistic efects, improve its gel properties, enhance gel elasticity and water retention capacity.
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.
