Carrageenan is a natural high-molecular-weight polysaccharide extracted from red algae and widely used in the food industry. Based on different molecular structures, it is mainly divided into three types: κ-type (Kappa), ι-type (Iota), and λ-type (Lambda), each with different gelling and thickening properties.

Used in chocolate milk, flavored milk, yogurt, pudding, and other products as a thickener, stabilizer, and to improve texture.
Used in ham, sausage, luncheon meat, and other products to improve water retention, sliceability, and elasticity.
Utilizing its excellent gelling properties to create products with stable structure and a chewy texture.
Used as a stabilizer in plant-based protein drinks and cocoa drinks to prevent separation and sedimentation.
Improves the structural stability and palatability of canned foods.
Excellent gelling properties
κ-type carrageenan forms a firm, elastic gel with potassium ions; ι-type forms a soft, elastic gel; λ-type primarily acts as a thickener and does not form a gel.
Good thickening and stabilizing effects
It can significantly increase the viscosity of the system at low addition levels, improving the product's taste and structural stability.
Excellent emulsifying and suspending abilities
It effectively prevents fat precipitation and particle sedimentation, improving product uniformity.
Thermal reversibility
The gel has good thermal reversibility, making it suitable for food processing processes requiring heat sterilization.
Naturally derived, safe and reliable
Derived from marine plants, meeting modern consumers' demand for natural and healthy food ingredients.
