Semi-Refined Kappa Carrageenan Food Grade - High-Quality Gelling Agent for Food Industry
Carrageenan is a kind of natural polysaccharide hydrocolloid that is present in the structures of certain varieties of red seaweed. These carbohydrates have the ability to form, at very low concentrations, thick solutions or gels in aqueous media.
Usually, carrageenan shows off-white to snowy or tan to yellowish color, it is a free-flowing powder, free of odor or taste. The gel is heat-reversible; it can dissolve when heated and the solution can gel while cooling.
It is stable, and even long-term placement may not reduce its gel strength and viscosity. When combined with konjac, locust bean gum, and xanthan gum, it is able to increase the gel potential with much better elasticity.
Carrageenan is extensively applied in food, medicine, chemical industry, daily supplies, biochemicals, building paints, textile printing, and agriculture.
Carrageenan in solution has maximum stability at pH 9 and should not be heat processed at pH values below 3.5.
High gelling performance: κ-carrageenan has a unique molecular structure and can form gel at a lower concentration. Its gel has good elasticity and transparency, and can provide food with a delicate, smooth taste and ideal texture.
Food grade safety: After strict production process and quality control, it meets food grade standards and can be safely used in the production and processing of various types of food. It has passed relevant food safety tests to ensure that it does not contain harmful substances and protect the health of consumers.
Semi-refined characteristics: This semi-refined carrageenan removes some impurities while retaining the main functional characteristics of κ-carrageenan, thereby improving the purity and stability of the product. Compared with refined products, it has certain cost advantages and is more suitable for large-scale food industry applications.
Good solubility: It can dissolve quickly in hot water to form a uniform solution. Under appropriate conditions, it can quickly gel after cooling, which is convenient for operation and control during food processing.
Product advantages
Synergistic effect: It has good synergy with other food additives such as gelatin and pectin. When used in combination, they can give full play to their respective advantages, further improve the texture, taste and stability of food, and expand its application range in food formulations.
Cost-effective: Due to its semi-refined characteristics, it has a high cost-effectiveness while ensuring product quality. It can help food manufacturers improve product quality and market competitiveness while controlling costs.
Precautions
Usage control: Although κ-carrageenan is a safe food additive, excessive use may have an adverse effect on the taste and texture of food. When using it, the dosage should be strictly controlled according to the formulation and process requirements of different foods to achieve the best effect.
pH value influence: The gel properties of κ-carrageenan are greatly affected by pH value. Under acidic conditions, its gel strength may decrease or even degrade. Therefore, when using it, pay attention to the pH range of the food system and avoid using it in an overly acidic or alkaline environment.
Storage conditions: It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Improper storage may cause carrageenan to absorb moisture and agglomerate, affecting its solubility and gel properties.
Reaction with certain ions: κ-carrageenan will react with some metal ions such as potassium ions and calcium ions, affecting its gel properties. When using it, pay attention to whether other ingredients in the food contain these ions, and make appropriate adjustments or treatments if necessary.
