Key Market Trends

Food Industry Creating High Demand for Carrageenan Ingredients

The carrageenan ingredients are majorly in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and others. Among these, food-industry owns the highest share of carrageenan in terms of usage, especially in dairy products. Kappa carrageenan added to cottage cheese will prevent separation of whey, and a similar amount added to ice cream also prevents whey separation that may be caused by other gums that were added to the ice cream to control texture and ice crystal growth. Furtherly, carrageenan is also used in the meat industry, water-based foods, and pet foods. In preparing hams, the addition of carrageenan to the brine solution used in pumping improves the product because the carrageenan binds free water and interacts with the protein so that the soluble protein is retained. Carrageenan also assists in maintaining the texture of watery-foods due to its gelling, thickening and stabilizing properties.
