REPORT DESCRIPTION
Carrageenan is a common name for a family of gel-forming and viscosifying polysaccharides that are extracted from a
species of red seaweed belonging to class Rhodophyceae. It is commonly found in the Atlantic Ocean near Britain, Europe,
and North America. Carrageenan contains considerable amount of cellulose and sulfated polygalactan with 15% to40% of
ester-sulfate content. It has off-white to brown appearance and is commercially available in powdered form. It is also
known as seaweed flour or Irish moss. Carrageenans differ in their chemical structure and properties, and therefore, they
have varying utilities in application industries. Carrageenans of commercial interest are available in three different
grades: Iota (ι), kappa (κ), and lambda (λ). For instance, iota forms elastic gels with calcium salts and is stable at room
temperature, while kappa forms strong and rigid gels with potassium salts and brittle gels with calcium salts. Lambda
does not participate in gel formation and is only used to form high viscosity formulations. Furthermore, a mixture of
different grades of carrageenan is used in the application industry.
