Product description
Carrageenan is a family of natural linear sulfated polysaccharides that are extracted from the natural strains of seaweed Eucheuma cottonii of the class Rgodophyceae (red seaweeds). Carrageenan consists chiefly of the potassium salts of polysaccharide sulphate esters which, on hydrolysis, yield galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose. Sodium, Calcium and magnesium salts of the polysaccharide sulphate esters are present in less amount. Up to 15% algal cellulose is also present in the product.
