Product Introduction

Carrageenan is a natural and common food additive used in the food industry that is derived from red seaweed. Carrageenan ingredients have been used in food preparation for centuries, particularly in traditional Irish recipes. Carrageenan e407 is a polysaccharide, which means it is a complex sugar compound made up of many smaller sugar molecules. The molecule's unique structure allows carrageenan gum to form a gel-like substance when combined with water, which makes it an ideal food thickener and stabilizer.

Carrageenan E407 is also known for its ability to improve the texture and shelf-life of various food products. Carrageenan is used as a thickener in dairy products such as ice cream and yogurt, as well as plant-based milks like coconut and almond milk. Carrageenan thickener is also found in deli meats, bakery items, and even pet food.
