Description
Carrageenan is a linear polysaccharide composed of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose residues. Depending on the position of the hemisulfate group attached to galactose, carrageenan is classified into several types, including kappa-, iota-, and lambda-carrageenan, as well as their mixtures, with the kappa-type being the most common. The product is supplied as white or light brown granules or powder, odorless or with a slight odor, and a sticky texture. When dissolved in water at approximately 80°C, it forms a viscous, clear or slightly milky solution that flows easily. For purchasers, the specification of carrageenan type (kappa, iota, lambda), its viscosity, solubility, and stability under various processing conditions are crucial.
Applications
Widely used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent in dairy products, desserts, meat products, and beverages.
