Carrageenan（Cat No.:M062364）, is a natural polysaccharide extracted from various species of red seaweed. It is widely used in the food industry as a thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agent. Carrageenan’s unique gel-forming properties make it valuable in a range of products, including dairy alternatives, processed meats, and desserts. However, its safety and health implications have been debated, with concerns about potential gastrointestinal effects. The different forms of carrageenan, such as degraded or undegraded, have varying properties and applications.
