Chimique Kappa Carrageenan is a polysaccharide extracted from certain species of red seaweed and is widely used in the food industry as a thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agent. It is plant-based, non-GMO, gluten-free, kosher (OU) and keto-friendly. Chimique Kappa Carrageenan forms strong, rigid gels in the presence of calcium ions, making it suitable for a variety of applications such as dairy products, desserts, meat products, and sauces. Its ability to form gels with a wide range of textures, from brittle to elastic, makes it a versatile ingredient in food formulations.
- Refine texture, achieve precise cuts, and enhance mouthfeel.
- Enhance water binding for optimal moisture retention.
- Maximize yield by improving brine binding capabilities.
- Stabilize emulsions to prevent fraction separation and ensure product integrity.
- Seamless dispersion of carrageenan in water, facilitating injection processes.
- Improve freeze-thaw stability for consistent product quality.
- Combined with Locust Bean Gum, Kappa gum exhibits enhanced gelling properties and develops elasticity.
