Excellent gelling and thickening properties: Food-grade carrageenan forms a stable gel structure in water, with different grades exhibiting either soft or brittle gels to meet diverse food needs.
Good stability: Under appropriate conditions, carrageenan exhibits good tolerance to heat, pH, and ionic environments, contributing to improved structural stability and consistent texture in food systems.
Good interaction with proteins: Especially in dairy products, carrageenan can form a stable network with milk proteins, preventing layering and sedimentation, and enhancing product texture.
Naturally derived, aligning with clean label trends: Plant-based and non-GMO, meeting current consumer demand for natural and healthy food ingredients.
