One of the most important properties of Carrageenan is its ability to form stable gels in the presence of calcium ions. This makes it an ideal thickening agent for dairy products, such as cream, ice cream, and cheese. It is also used in a wide range of other food products, including meat products, vegetarian products, and confectionery.
Another important property of Carrageenan is its ability to bind with water molecules and form viscous solutions. This makes it an effective emulsifier and stabilizer for food products such as salad dressings, sauces, and gravies.
Carrageenan is also used as a dietary supplement and as a component in personal care products such as toothpaste and shampoo. In medicine, Carrageenan has been shown to have anti-viral and anti-tumor properties, which is why it is being studied as an ingredient in cancer therapy.
Notes: Europe prohibits the use of Carrageenan in infant food for precautionary reasons.
