    It is a food additive of superior quality.

    It has strong gel-forming and high viscosity properties, satisfactory elasticity, clarity and solubility.

    It has very good stability, does not reduce its gel strength and viscosity even when left for a long time, and does not hydrolyze even when heated in medium and alkaline solutions.

    It has good protein-binding properties and can form ionic interactions with positively charged protein molecules, which is unique among all colloids.

    It can play an obvious synergistic effect with -carrageenan, locust bean gum, konjac gum, xanthan gum, etc., and the mixed use can significantly change its gel characteristics, so that the gel tends to be elastic and the water secretion phenomenon is reduced.

    Safe and non-toxic for use, which has been confirmed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

    Carrageenan is widely used in food, medicine, daily chemicals, biochemistry, architectural coatings, stucco printing and dyeing, and agriculture.

    It is used as a gelling agent, thickener, stabilizer, suspension agent and clarifier in the food industry. It can be used for gummies, jellies, ham sausages, canned meat, ice cream, beverages, condiments, chocolate milk, milk pudding, simulated foods, desserts, jams, yokan, beer, bread, minced meat and surimi food, and animal food.

    It is used as toothpaste, detergent, cosmetics and air freshener in daily chemicals.

    It is used in biochemistry as a microbial suspension agent, barium sulfate dispersant, capsules, etc.

    It is biochemically used as microbial carrier and immobilized cell carrier, etc.

    In other aspects, it is used as a thickener for water-based paints in the coating industry, and can be used as a thickener for ceramic glazes, a thickener for watercolor pigments, a graphite suspending agent, a sizing material for textiles and paper, an agricultural herbicide and an insecticide suspension, etc.

    The company selects imported high-quality seaweed raw materials, adopts advanced extraction and purification technology, and produces high-quality and low-cost carrageenan pure and many varieties and specifications of compound products. Including high-strength, high-viscosity and high-transparency refined carrageenan, semi-refined carrageenan, gummy powder, jelly powder, meat product powder, ice cream emulsion stabilizer, air freshener and other varieties and specifications. It can meet the needs of different customers to the greatest extent, and can also provide customers with a full range of technical services in terms of product application.

    Main uses: Carrageenan.

    Food industry. Gelling agents, thickeners, stabilizers, suspending agents and clarifying agents, etc.

    Carrageenan is also known as carrageenan or carrageenan.

    It is a natural polysaccharide vegetable gum from red algae, which is widely used in food industry, chemical industry, biochemistry, medical research and other fields. Carrageenan has the characteristics of hydrocolloid formation, gelling, thickening, emulsifying, ventilating, and stable dispersion.

    Therefore, it is widely used in dairy products, ice cream, fruit juice drinks, bread, hydrogel fruit jelly, meat products, condiments, canned food, etc. It can be prepared with jelly powder, gummy powder, pudding powder, Aiyu powder, Western-style ham powder, etc.

    Properties of carrageenan

    Its unique properties cannot be replaced by other resins, which makes the carrageenan industry develop rapidly, and now the total annual output of carrageenan in the world has far exceeded the output of agar. Carrageenan has good water solubility, starting to dissolve at 70 degrees and completely dissolving at 80 degrees.

    Dried powdered carrageenan is very stable and will not hydrolyze quickly when left for a long time, which is much more stable than sugars such as pectin or algin. Carrageenan is also stable in neutral and alkaline solutions and does not hydrolyze even when heated. Due to the many physicochemical properties of carrageenan, satisfactory elasticity, transparency and solubility extend the range of carrageenan applications.

    Carrageenan. carrageenan), also known as carrageenan, carrageenan, carrageenan, carrageenan.

    Precious tropical marine algae such as unicorn are produced on coral reefs on the seabed, and are known as "seabed crops". Kirin vegetables are rich in dietary fiber.

    It accounts for more than 70% of the algae. The protein content is above, and the content of essential amino acids is low, but the ratio is reasonable. Low fat content, in the following.

    At the same time, unicorn is also rich in minerals, especially calcium and zinc. Therefore, unicorn is a high-fiber, low-fat, low-calorie, and rich in minerals and trace elements.

    Carrageenan can be used in meat products, aquatic products, dairy products, jelly, medicines, daily chemicals and other products, playing the role of gelling, thickening, emulsifying and elasticizing.

    1.Carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid, also known as carrageenan, carrageenan, etc., because carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid extracted from red algae seaweeds such as unicorn, cauliflower, staghorn, etc., and its chemical structure is calcium, potassium, sodium, and ammonium salts of polysaccharide sulfates composed of galactose and anhydrogalactose. Due to the different forms of sulfate bonding, it can be divided into K type, I type and L type.

    2.Uses: Widely used in the manufacture of jelly, ice cream, pastries, gummies, canned food, meat products, eight-treasure porridge, white fungus bird's nest, soups, cold foods, etc.

    Carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid, also known as carrageenan, carrageenan, etc., because carrageenan is a hydrophilic colloid extracted from red algae seaweeds such as unicorn, cauliflower, staghorn, etc., and its chemical structure is calcium, potassium, sodium, and ammonium salts of polysaccharide sulfates composed of galactose and anhydrogalactose.

    Carrageenan is white or light brown granules or powder, odorless or slightly odorous, and has a sticky and smooth taste. Soluble in about 80 years of water to form a viscous, transparent or slightly milky easy-flowing solution.

    If it is first soaked in an aqueous solution of ethanol, glycerol or saturated sucrose, it is easier to disperse in water. The solution boiled with 30 times water for 10min will become a colloid after cooling, and the viscosity will increase when combined with water, and it will react with protein to emulsify and stabilize the emulsion.

    Carrageenan is a seaweed gum polysaccharide extracted from red algae, which everyone has eaten in their stomachs when eating ice cream and drinking fruit juice drinks. Like Qionghuihu gum, carrageenan is also a white powder with a slight seaweed smell that dissolves in water to form a very viscous solution.

    The main use of carrageenan is in food, such as milk, ice cream, jelly, candy, juice, jam, ham and other foods can be added to carrageenan to improve their quality or taste. According to statistics, carrageenan used in the food industry accounts for about 80% of the world's Kama Bisila gum production, of which carrageenan used in dairy products accounts for half of the world's carrageenan production.

    In addition to being used in the food industry, carrageenan also has important uses in the daily chemical industry and the pharmaceutical industry. For example, carrageenan can be used to make air fresheners; Carrageenan can improve the anti-erosion effect of the gastrointestinal mucosa on hydrochloric acid and pepsin, reduce the secretion of gastric acid, and is the most effective natural algal polysaccharide for gastrointestinal ulcers; Carrageenan can be used as a binder for tablets, which can prolong the effect of the drug several times later; Carrageenan can promote the growth of mustard tissue and collagen; Carrageenan increases calcium absorption in bones; Carrageenan can also lower blood lipids and improve the body's immune function, among other things.
