Food additives 99% lambda Carrageenan ... Kappa carrageenan Iota carrageenan
Description
Carrageenan (E407) is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from red seaweed of the Rhodophyceae class. Carrageenan has been used for hundreds of years and has been found safe in America. It replaces gelatine and starch in it is very similar to Agar. This type of Carrageenan is standarised to constant gel strength in water, in order to obtain a uniform performance.
