Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid obtained from selected species of red seaweed from Philippines. It is able to form gels or to thicken solutions containing water even at low concentrations. It takes the form of fine powder usually white or off-white/yellowish. It has no taste or smell, so it can be used for very many food applications. The gels it creates are heat – reversible. Additionally, in connection with konjac gum (and some other hydrocolloids) it alters properties of gels making them more elastic and increasing water binding capacity. The main application areas are food, medicine, building materials, and chemical industry.
