Kappaphycus alvarezii crude carrageenan

Agar-agar, gelatin, and pectin are commonly used as gelling agents. However, jellies made with agar-agar lack elasticity. Carrageenan, on the other hand, produces jellies with good elasticity and no syneresis, making it a popular choice for jelly production.

Carrageenan is a soluble, high-molecular-weight polysaccharide hydrocolloid with physicochemical properties such as viscosity, gelling properties, and a negative charge that can form complexes with some substances (all carrageenans interact with proteins). It can be used as a thickener, gelling agent, suspending agent, emulsifier and stabilizer to stabilize emulsions, prevent whey separation, control dehydration shrinkage and shape gels. Carrageenan has been widely used in various aspects of the food industry.
