Full Products Details

This powdered thickening agent, derived from edible red seaweed, is renowned for its stabilizing, thickening, and gelling properties. It is a key ingredient for food manufacturers and culinary professionals aiming to enhance the texture and stability of their products. Known for creating smooth, creamy textures, it is widely used in dairy products, plant-based alternatives, and processed foods. As a vegan, kosher, and gluten-free option, it caters to a variety of dietary needs and is available in bulk quantities to efficiently meet production demands.

Applications: This product is utilized in various food applications, including dairy products, plant-based milk alternatives, meat products, and desserts. It is typically incorporated during the manufacturing process to improve texture and stability.

Ingredients: Composed of pure carrageenan extracted from red seaweed, it is free from artificial additives, preservatives, and allergens, ensuring a clean label for your products.

Brewing Instructions: Proper mixing and heating instructions are crucial for achieving desired results. Typically, the gum is dispersed in cold water or milk and then heated to activate its gelling properties. The specific concentration and heating time may vary depending on the application and desired texture.

Storage: To maintain quality and effectiveness, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance.

Caution: While generally recognized as safe for consumption, it is important to use in accordance with recommended guidelines and concentrations. Excessive use may lead to undesirable textures or gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals.
