Carrageenan is a naturally-occurring family of carbohydrates extracted from red seaweed, which is widely used in dairy products because it forms complexes with calcium and milk proteins. It thickens and helps suspend cocoa particles in chocolate milk. It stabilizes ice cream to protect it from thawing and refreezing, and enables it to hold more air.

Main Function:

  • Thickener
  • Stabilizer
  • Suspension Concentration
