CARRAGEENAN
CAS No.:11114-20-8
Description: Carrageenan is called siliquose pelvetia glue extracted from algae/seaweed. This pure natural food additive has the characteristics of producing strong reaction gelatin and high viscosity solution. The dried carrageenan powder is very steady in neutral and basic solution. It begins to dissolve in cold water, and is totally dissolved at 80oC. The reaction between carrageenan and protein is the only one of its kind among all aqueous high polymers. The specific properties of safety and impoisonousness are confirmed by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization Food Additive United Expert Committee (UECFA).

Uses: Carrageenan can be used as gelatin, thickening, gelling, suspension, stabilizing agents, and many more. It has been extensively used in the food industry, and also widely used such as in chemical industry, medical research, etc.
Some product examples are: chocolate milk, pudding, ice cream, yogurt, baby food, jelly, gummy candy, pet food, meat products, toothpaste, detergent, cosmetics, paint, beer, wine, etc.
The usage portion of carrageenan powder is between 0.03% and 0.05%.
Packing: in 25kg kraft bags
.(15MT/FCL).
KA type:
Carrageenan KA type that we manufacture is a compound of carrageenan and a little density agent.

Uses: This special carrageenan formula is a form of food additive for meat products. It works in meat products to effectively strengthen water preservation, improve elasticity and dice function. Therefore improving the quality of the meat, lowering the cost, and achieving remarkable economic benefits.
We produce two kinds of carrageenan KA type: the rolling-rubbing type and the injection type. Rolling-rubbing type's amount of usage: 0.5 ~ 0.7%. Injection type's amount of usage: 1 ~ 1.8%
Packing: in 25kg kraft bags
(15mt/FCL)
