Introduction

Carrageenan powder is a natural hydrophilic colloid extracted from red algae seaweed. Its main components are calcium, potassium, sodium and ammonium salts of polysaccharide sulfate. It is divided into different types such as K-type (Kappa), I-type (Iota), and L-type (Lambda). Carrageenan powder is usually white or light brown granules or powder, odorless or slightly odorous, and has a sticky taste. It can be dissolved in hot water or hot milk to form a viscous, transparent or slightly milky, easy-flowing solution. It is often used as a food additive and thickener and is widely used in the food industry.

Function

Thickening and stabilization: Carrageenan powder has good thickening properties and can increase the viscosity and stability of food. For example, in ice cream, it can evenly distribute fat and other solid ingredients and prevent whey separation.

Gelling: It is an effective gelling agent that can form a stable gel structure in liquids. In the production of jellies and soft candies, carrageenan powder can provide good elasticity and stability.

Emulsification and suspension: Carrageenan powder can form a stable emulsified system in liquids to prevent ingredient separation.
