Product Name:Carrageenan
Usage and Application: Carrageenan (also called carrageen gum) is a kind of naturalpolysaccharide hydrophilic gum extracted from sea plant - red algae and,normally, is white or yellow in the form of powder, odorless and tasteless. Thegel forming Carrageenan is of heat reversibility.      I. E., the gel turns into solution whenbeing 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 thatlong-term placement may not reduce its gelling intensity and viscosity. Theproduct won't be hydrolyzed even if being heated in neutral and alkalinesolution. When combined with konjac gum, locust bean gum and some other kind ofgums, Carrageenan can give a remarkable performance for synergism anddistinctly alter its gelling characteristics so as to make the gel full ofelasticity and water preserving capability.
