Carrageenan

Carrageenans

Carrageenan, polysaccharides extracted from red algae (Rhodophyceae), are part of the plant’s structural elements, filling the voids within the cellulose structure.

With a history dating back to ancient times, carrageenan has been utilized as a versatile natural thickener and stabilizer in both food and non-food systems. Its unique properties enable it to play a pivotal role in achieving the desired texture profile in various end products.
