CAS 11114-20-8: κ-Carrageenan
Description:κ-Carrageenan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweeds, particularly from the genera Chondrus, Eucheuma, and Gigartina. It is primarily composed of repeating units of galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose, which contribute to its gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties. κ-Carrageenan is widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent, particularly in dairy products, desserts, and meat products, due to its ability to form gels in the presence of potassium ions. It is also utilized in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics for its emulsifying and thickening capabilities. The substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies when used in appropriate amounts. κ-Carrageenan is soluble in hot water and forms a gel upon cooling, which is influenced by factors such as concentration, temperature, and the presence of other ingredients. Its unique properties make it a valuable ingredient in various applications, although there has been some debate regarding its potential health effects when consumed in large quantities.
