1 Production Description

Carrageenan, kappa highly pure Carrageenans are agar-related hydrocolloids consisting of esters of galactose and anhydrogalactose polysaccarides. Kappa Carrageenan is obtained by alkaline extraction from red algae ( Rhodophyceae ) of the order Gigartinales , purified by filtration and recovered by KCl precipitation. In ionic solutions, heat-solubilized kappa Carrageenan self-assembles into helical structures and gels during cooling, the gel parameters depending on the ions present: Potassium ions form rigid gels, calcium gels are strong but more flexibel.
