Used in products such as ham, sausages, and luncheon meat to improve water retention and slicing properties, enhance texture, and reduce costs.
Applied in chocolate milk, flavored milk, and puddings, it acts as a stabilizer, thickener, and prevents separation.
As a primary gelling agent, it forms a transparent or translucent gel structure with a smooth texture.
Used in combination with konjac gum, xanthan gum, etc., it can optimize texture and improve product stability.
It can be used in pet food, toothpaste, air freshener gels, and other fields.
Strong gelling properties: K carrageenan forms a strong yet somewhat brittle gel in the presence of potassium ions, exhibiting stable structure and good cutability.
Good water-binding ability: Effectively locks in water, reducing product leakage and improving product stability and shelf life.
Excellent thickening and suspending properties: Even at low addition levels, it significantly increases system viscosity, improving product texture and structure.
Thermal reversibility: It dissolves upon heating and reforms into a gel upon cooling, facilitating processing and use.
Natural origin, high safety: Derived from natural seaweed, it complies with relevant food additive regulations and is widely recognized in the global market.
