Productย Overview

Gelling Agent | Thickener | Stabiliser | Texture Enhancer

Kappa Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from red seaweed, widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent, thickener, and stabiliser. It appears as a fine, off-white to light beige powder, is soluble in hot water, and forms strong, firm gels in the presence of potassium ions.

This ingredient is highly valued for its ability to improve texture, control water retention, and enhance product stability, particularly in dairy, plant-based, and processed food applications where clean, consistent gel formation is essential.
