Function | Carrageenan is white or light brown particles or powder, odorless or slightly smelly, sticky and smooth taste. Soluble in about 80 ° C water, forming a viscous, transparent or slightly milky white easy to flow solution. If first soaked with ethanol, glycerin or saturated sucrose aqueous solution, it is easier to disperse in water. The solution is boiled with 30 times the water for 10 minutes and becomes colloidal after cooling. The viscosity increases when combined with water and reacts with protein to emulsify and stabilize the emulsion |
