Carrageenan is a hydrophilic marine colloidal gum derived from the matrix material of numerous species of red sea weeds. It is a potent biopolymer, highly sulphated galactan, strongly anionic due to their half-ester sulphur moieties. Applications of carrageenan are coupled with their hydrophilic and anionic properties. Carrageenan is world�s foremost food and industrial additive as gelling, suspending, thickening and emulsifying agents. The wonder powder has stabilized itself in a broad spectrum of products like Diary products, Water based foods, Meat products, Pet food, Air freshener gels, Toothpaste, immobilized catalysts etc. Carrageenan gels have the advantage of higher melting point, so that they find a ready market in tropical climates or where refrigeration is not available.
