Application
Carrageenan has a wide range of applications in the food industry, mainly for food thickening, stabilization, emulsification and gelation. The following are examples of Carrageenan used in different foods:
● Jelly and pudding: Carrageenan is often used to make jelly and pudding because of its unique gel properties, which can provide good elasticity and stability.
● Ice cream and ice cream: Carrageenan acts as an emulsifying stabilizer in ice cream and ice cream to prevent the separation of ice cream whey and improve the expansion rate and tissue stability of ice cream.
● Yogurt and milkshakes: Carrageenan acts as a stabilizer in yogurt and milkshakes to prevent particles from settling and maintain the uniformity and stability of the product.
● Confectionery: Carrageenan is used in confectionery to make clear fruit jelly, which provides good clarity and taste.
● Meat products: Carrageenan is used as a gel and water retaining agent in ham and ham sausage to enhance the elasticity and slicing properties of the product.
● Beverages: In milk drinks, fruit drinks and alcoholic beverages, carrageenan is used as a suspension agent and stabilizer to prevent particles from settling and improve the taste and stability of drinking.
● Pastries and breads: Carrageenan acts as a humectant in pastries and breads, preventing dryness and aging and maintaining softness and elasticity.
