Product Name: Carrageenan
Molecular Formula: C24H36O25S2-2
Molecular Weight: 788.66
CAS No.: 11114-20-8
Description
Carrageenan(also called carrageenan gum) is kind of natural polysaccharide hydrophilic gum extracted from the red seaweed of the sea plant. It is usually white or light yellow powder, odorless and tasteless. Carrageenan gel is heat reversible. Carrageenan can melt into solution after being heated, and the solution can coagulate into gel after being cooled.
Carrageenan has good water-solubility. It begins to melt at 70℃ and completely melts at 80℃. It also has admirable stability, in addition, it may not reduce the intensity and viscosity in long-term placement. It does not hydrolyze in neutral and alkaline solution, even being heated......

When carrageenan is used inn with konjac gum, locust bean gum and xanthan gum, it obviously functions as coordinator and reinforcer, as well as distinctly altering the gel characteristics and making the gel elastic and water-holding.
