Kappa Carrageenan (Refined) - 2 Ounces

Kappa Carrageenan (2 Ounces) Kappa Carrageenan is from the family of linear sulfated polysaccharides that are extracted from red seaweeds. It is widely used in the food industry, for its gelling, thickening and stabilizing properties. Its main application is in dairy and meat products, due to its strong binding to food proteins. Kappa Carrageenan is a vegetarian and vegan alternative to gelatin in some applications. Kappa Carrageenan forms strong, rigid gels in the presence of potassium ions; it reacts with dairy proteins. Food and other domestic uses: Desserts, ice cream, cream, milkshakes, salad dressings, sweetened condensed milks, and sauces: gel to increase viscosity Beer: clarifier to remove haze-causing proteins PÃ¢tÃ©s and processed meats (ham, e.g.): substitute for fat, increase water retention and increase volume, or improve sliceability Toothpaste: stabilizer to prevent constituents separating Fruit Gushers: ingredient in the encapsulated gel Fire fighting foam: thickener to cause foam to become sticky Shampoo and cosmetic creams: thickener Air freshener gels Marbling: the ancient art of paper and fabric marbling uses a carrageenan mixture on which to float paints or inks; the paper or fabric is then laid on it, absorbing the colors Shoe polish: gel to increase viscosity Biotechnology: gel to immobilize cells/enzymes Pharmaceuticals: used as an inactive excipient in pills/tablets Soy milk and other plant milks: used to thicken, in an attempt to emulate the consistency of whole milk Diet sodas: to enhance texture and suspend flavors Pet food Personal lubricants Animal models of inflammation used to test analgesics (dilute lambda carrageenan solution (1-2%) injected subcutaneously causes swelling and pain) Veggie dogs
