Research Summary

Carrageenan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed, primarily belonging to the Gigartina, Chondrus, and Eucheuma genera. It is commonly used as a food additive and thickening agent due to its unique gelling and stabilizing properties. Carrageenan comes in different forms, including kappa, iota, and lambda, each with varying gel strengths and applications. It is widely used in the food industry, particularly in dairy products like ice cream, yogurt, and chocolate milk, to improve texture, prevent separation, and enhance mouthfeel. Carrageenan is also found in processed meats, sauces, and desserts as a thickener and emulsifier. In addition to its culinary uses, carrageenan is utilized in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even as a bioactive compound in research studies. It is considered safe for consumption, although there has been some debate regarding its potential effects on digestive health. Overall, carrageenan is valued for its versatile functionality and contribution to the texture and stability of a wide range of products.
