Role and efficacy of carrageenan

Carrageenan has strong gel forming and high viscosity characteristics, which can form highly elastic, transparent and stable hydrocolloids. It can maintain its gel strength and viscosity even after being placed for a long time, and will not be hydrolyzed even when heated in medium and alkaline solutions; It has a good property of binding with protein, and can form an ionic interaction with positively charged protein molecules. This unique reactivity is unique among all colloids.

It can play an obvious synergistic effect with carrageenan, locust bean gum, konjac gum, xanthan gum, etc. The mixed use can significantly change its gel characteristics, make the gel tend to be elastic and can reduce bleeding.

Carrageenan is used in meat, which can keep the moisture in meat and make the meat more fresh and tender. Its unique properties cannot be replaced by other hydrophilic colloids, making the carrageenan industry develop rapidly. It is used as toothpaste, detergent, cosmetics and air freshener in daily chemicals. In biochemistry, it is used as microbial suspension agent, barium sulfate dispersant, capsule, etc. It is used as microbial carrier and immobilized cell carrier in biochemistry. In other aspects, it can be used as a thickener for water-based paint in paint industry, and it is intended to be used as a thickener for ceramic glaze, a thickener for watercolor pigment, a graphite suspending agent, a sizing agent for textiles and paper, a herbicide for agriculture, and a pesticide suspending agent.
