Carrageenan
Carrageenan (also called carrageen gum) is a kind of natural polysaccharide hydrophilic gum extracted from sea plant - red algae and, normally, is white or yellow in the form of powder, odorless and tasteless. The gel forming Carrageenan is of heat reversibility. i.e., the gel turns into solution when being heated and turns back to gel again as soon as the solution is cooled. Carrageenan possesses very favorable water-solubility and starts melting at 70, and absolutely melts at 80. Meanwhile, it features fine stability so that long-term placement may not reduce its gelling intensity and viscosity. The product won't be hydrolyzed even if being heated in neutral and alkaline solution. When combined with konjac gum, locust bean gum and some other kind of gums, Carrageenan can give a remarkable performance for synergism and distinctly alter its gelling characteristics so as to make the gel full of elasticity and water preserving capability.
Carrageenan is extensively applied in many fields such as foodstuff, medicine, daily chemical industry, biochemistry, architectural coatings, textile dyeing, agriculture etc.
