Carrageenan red algae from some seaweed extracted hydrophilic gel, its chemical structure is by galacitiol and dehydration galacitiol composed of polysaccharides sulfuric acid ester of calcium, potassium, sodium, ammonium salt. Because of the different combination form sulfuric acid ester, can be divided into K type ( Kappa) , type I ( Iota) , L ( Lambda) .
Carrageenan for white or light yellow film or fibrous material; Insoluble in organic solvent and soluble in hot water, some structure types of kara glue can soluble in cold water. Its gelling ability is weak, but most of the alkali metal salt, alkaline metal salt and ammonium salt and so on can improve its ability to gel. It reacts with the protein complexes; And acid degraded role.
Carrageenan has two kinds, one is refined carrageenan, the other is semi refined carrageenan.Carrageenan belong to food additives.
Carrageenan can be used for food, medicine and cosmetics of adhesive, thickening agent, emulsifier and stabilizer, and bacteria culture, treat the medicament, the gastric ulcer blood agent, fall hematic fat agent and delay evacuant, etc. Also can be used as emulsion and photographic emulsions layer, and anti-static agent immobilized enzyme carrier and the embedding materials bacteria.

Carrageenan Widely used in the food industry, chemical industry and biochemical, medical research, etc. Carla adhesives have formed close water colloid, gel, thickening, emulsion, wei film, stable characteristics, and is therefore spread widely used in dairy products, ice cream, juice drinks, bread, water gel ( water jelly) , meat, spices, canned food, etc. Can allocate jelly powder, jelly powder, pudding powder, love jade powder, western-style ham allocate powder, etc. Its unique performance is not replaced by other resin, make carrageenan rapid industrial growth, now the world of carrageenan annual production has far more than the output of AGAR. Kara glue of water soluble is very good, in the 70 degrees, 80 degrees begins to dissolve is completely dissolved. Dry powder carrageenan very stable, long-term placed won soon hydrolysis, than pectin or brown algae such as glue the stability of the sugar better. Carrageenan in neutral and the alkaline solution is also quite stable, even heating also not hydrolysis. Because of the many carrageenan physical and chemical characteristics, satisfying elasticity, transparency and dissolved performance expanded the scope of application carrageenan.
