Carrageenan is a linear sulfated polysaccharide obtained from red seaweeds.
- Has the unique ability to form a wide range of gel texture at room temperature, firm or elastic, with high or low melting point.
- Gelation requires no refrigeration and the gels can be made stable throughout repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
- Thickens, suspends and stabilizes particulates as well as colloidal dispersions and water/oil emulsion.
- Solutions shear thin (providing ease of pumping), but viscosity and suspending ability is quickly restored on standing.
