Carrageenan is a natural hydrophilic colloid extracted from red seaweed. It has excellent gelling, thickening, stabilizing, suspending and emulsifying properties, and is widely used in food, beverage, pharmaceutical and daily chemical industries.
It can form elastic or brittle gels in the presence of potassium or calcium ions, and shows good compatibility with many other food ingredients. It can effectively improve product texture, enhance water retention, maintain stability during storage and heating, and prevent layering or precipitation.
In food applications, carrageenan is commonly used in dairy products, meat products, jelly, candy, beverages and canned food to improve taste, texture and shelf life.
In the pharmaceutical field, it acts as a safe excipient for tablets, capsules and oral preparations, functioning as a binder, disintegrant and sustained-release agent.
