What is Carrageenan? Carrageenan is obtained from various red seaweeds (marine algae). The major sources of carrageenan. Are now the two tropical red seaweeds Kappaphycus Alverezii and Eucheuma Denticulatum, also known as 'cottonii and spinosum' in popular literature. DEHUI is producing kappa carrageenan from Eucheuma Cottonii and iota carrageenan from Eucheuma Spinosum seaweeds. Carrageenan is used as a thickening, stabilizing or emulsifying agent in dairy products like chocolate milks, ice creams, milk puddings, yoghurts, flans and the like. It is also used in processed meats, dog foods, toothpastes, air freshener gels, and a variety of other food and non-food products. Carrageenan is frequently preferred over other thickening, suspending and binding ingredients because it is natural, economical, readily available and functional in an extremely broad application-based environments.. Application: Desserts, ice cream, cream, milkshakes, sweetened condensed milks, and sauces: gel to increase viscosityBeer: clarifier to remove haze-causing proteinsPâtés and processed meats (ham, e.g.): substitute for fat, increase water retention and increase volume, or improve sliceabilityToothpaste: stabilizer to prevent constituents separatingFruit Gushers: ingredient in the encapsulated gelFire fighting foam: thickener to cause foam to become stickyShampoo and cosmetic creams: thickenerAir freshener gelsMarbling: the ancient art of paper and fabric marbling uses a carrageenan mixture on which to float paints or inks; the paper or fabric is then laid on it, absorbing the colors.Shoe polish: gel to increase viscosityBiotechnology: gel to immobilize cells/enzymesPharmaceuticals: used as an inactive excipient in pills/tabletsSoy milk: used to thicken, in an attempt to emulate the consistency of whole milkDiet sodas: mouthfeel and suspend flavorsPet foodAlien saliva (movie effects)Personal lubricantsAnimal models of inflammation used to test analgesics (dilute lambda carrageenan solution (1–2%) injected subcutaneously causes swelling and pain)Production Process: DEHUI produces Kappa and Iota from Euchema Cottonii and Eucheuma Spinosum seaweeds based on these essential phases. | |
