Foodgel™ Carrageenan
Carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid extracted from marine red algae, such as Irish moss and Gigartina. It is a natural polysaccharide, and its primary raw materials include Eucheuma and Kappaphycus. The color of carrageenan is generally white to light yellow powder ,with no odor or taste. Carrageenan can completely dissolve in water at 80°C, forming a thermoreversible gel. This means that the gel can melt into a solution when heated and re-form into a gel when the solution cools.
Carrageenan has a synergistic effect with other colloids like konjac gum and locust bean gum, significantly altering their gel properties and enhancing gel elasticity and water retention. Carrageenan finds wide applications in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, daily chemical industry, agriculture, construction, and other fields. Due to its high content of dietary fiber, approaching 70%, carrageenan is also commonly used in functional foods.

The Foodgel™ M series utilizes carrageenan extracted from natural seaweed. Upon heating, it forms a substantial network structure that retains a large amount of moisture in meat products, reducing the loss of meat juices. It also imparts excellent elasticity. Simulta-neously, carrageenan undergoes a synergistic reaction with precipitated salt-soluble proteins, creating a matrix that enhances the firmness of the meat. Additionally, it inhibits the dissolution and volatilization of savory components, lowers the water activity of meat products, and extends the shelf life of meat products.
