Iota Carrageenan is extracted from red seaweeds Eucheuma Spinosum. It is also known as calcium-sensitive carrageenan, which forms soft gels in the presence of calcium ions.


Iota Carrageenan is the only carrageenan style that is freeze/ thaw stable. Thus, a frozen Iota carrageenan gel will be completely syneresis-free when thawed. It is an excellent water binder in concentrations as low as 0.2%.

Applications

  • Due to Refined Iota Carrageenan's remarkable properties in gelling, thickening, emulsifying, film-forming and stably dispersing, it is commonly applied in various fields such as dairy products, beverages, meat products, new health products, dietary supplements, pharmaceutical and daily chemical products (cosmetics), etc. 

  • It is usually used in water-based applications where a weak cohesive and elastic gel is required.

  • It provides an elastic thixotropic milk gel especially well suited for cold filled dairy products and for whipped applications.
