Uses and synthesis of Carrageenan powder

Carrageenan Powder, also known as Carrageenan Gum, Carrageenan Gum, Irish Moss Gum, Carrageenan CAS 11114-20-8, is a collective name for polysaccharides extracted from marine red algae (including Carrageenan, Kirinella, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Sarcococarpus, etc.), which is a mixture of various substances, there are four kinds of polysaccharides: ι(Iota), κ(Kappa), λ(Lamda), μ(mu), μ(Mu), δ(Kappa) and δ(Lamda). There are four types of sugar: ι (Iota), κ (Kappa), λ (Lamda), and μ (mu).

The name Carrageenan Raw Materials is derived from Chondrus crispus (also known as caraway), which is known as carraigín in Irish.

Applications / Functions of Carrageenan powder

1. Based on its properties, Carrageenan CAS 11114-20-8 is commonly used in the food industry as a thickener, gelling agent, suspending agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, and so on.
2. Carrageenan Raw Materials can be used as a clarifying agent in alcoholic beverages and as a foam stabilizer. Since carrageenan can interact with protein, it is an effective wort clarifier, which makes the product clarified and transparent, facilitates the growth of yeast, and facilitates filtration, reduces filtration loss, improves wort yield, improves the biostability of beer, and extends the shelf life of beer.

Physicochemical Property of Carrageenan powder

Solubility: Carrageenan powder is insoluble in cold water, but can be dissolved into a gelatinous mass, insoluble in organic solvents, easily soluble in hot water into a semi-transparent colloidal solution (in hot water above 70 ℃ to increase the rate of dissolution.);

● Gelation: can generate hot reversible gel in the presence of potassium ions;

● Thickening: low viscosity sol at low concentration, close to Newtonian fluid, high viscosity sol at higher concentration, non-Newtonian fluid.

● Synergism: Carrageenan CAS 11114-20-8 synergizes with acacia bean gum, konjac gum, xanthan gum and other colloids to improve the elasticity and water retention of the gel;

● Health Value: Carrageenan Raw Materials has the basic properties of soluble dietary fiber, and degraded carrageenan in the body can form soluble complexes with hemofibrin. After degradation in the body, carrageenan can form a soluble complex with hemofibrillar proteins. It can be fermented into CO2, H2, methane and short-chain fatty acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, etc. by colorectal bacteria, which can be used as an energy source for probiotics.

Production methodprocess of Carrageenan powder

1. Wash and dry seaweed, put into the extraction pot, add 30 ~ 50 times water (or appropriate amount of lye), steam heating (100 ℃ or so) 40 ~ 60min, filtration, stirring side, to the filtration out of the extract add alcohol solvent, centrifugal separation, precipitation by the drum drying, crushing can be obtained Carrageenan Raw Materials.

When drying by drum, it is necessary to add mono- or diglycerides or polysorbate as drum detachment agent.
