Carrageenan is a natural polysaccharide hydrocolloid extracted from marineplant red algae, which is generally white to light yellow powder, odorless andasteless. Carrageenan has good water solubility and can be completelydissalved at 80°ºC.The gel formed is a thermally reversible gel,i.e. the gel meltsnto solution when heated,and the gel can be formed again when the solutionscooled. Carrageenan has good stability and will nothydrolyze when heated inheutral and alkaline condition.When carrageenan isused togetherwith konjac gum,locust bean gum,xanthan gum and other colloids,it can play a significantsynergistic effect, which can significantly change its gel characteristics andgreatlyenhance its gel elasticity and water retention.
