Overview

Nutrients-Loaded, Safe to Use Carrageenan

Carrageenan, is a hydrocolloid that belongs to a family of water soluble polysaccharides extracted from certain species of red seaweed. It is an excellent gelling agent that forms transparent thermo-reversible gels with minimal synersis, melts at high temperature and has the ability to gel at room temperature, thus eliminating refrigeration.

The various types of Carrageenan are :

Kappa
• Elastic gel with no syneresis
• Soluble in hot water

lota
• Brittle gel with some syneresis
• Soluble in hot water

Lambda
• No gel formation
• Forms high viscosity solutions

We offer a multitude of Carrageenan products formulated to meet various customer specifications. Our Products include Pure Refined & Semi Refined Carrageenan of both Iota & Kappa types. For commercial uses, we blend different batches of Carrageenan with gums/salt to obtain the desired gelling, thickening or stabilizing properties. We have categorized our products as :
