Carrageenan Powder – E407 – 100g by Cruciani Prodotti Crual

The Carrageenan Powder produced by Cruciani Prodotti Crual is a natural product, extracted from red algae belonging to the Rhodopophyceae class, characterised by the presence of D-galactose bridges which, depending on their position, allow this product to be distinguished into three different chemical forms, such as kappa, iota and lambda .
Thanks to its excellent thickening, solubilizing, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties , the powdered carrageenan produced by Cruciani Prodotti Crual is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. In particular, it is particularly useful in diet products, thanks to its extremely low caloric content, replacing traditional emulsifiers such as oil and milk derivatives.
Cruciani Prodotti Crual's carrageenan powder is soluble in hot water , but less soluble in cold water. Furthermore, in cold water, and especially in the presence of potassium or calcium ions, carrageenan tends to form a viscous gel chemically composed of helices. Furthermore, Cruciani Prodotti Crual's carrageenan has a molecular weight greater than 100,000 daltons, thus avoiding the presence of "low" molecular residues in the finished product.
Cruciani Prodotti Crual's carrageenan powder combines easily with milk proteins, improving their solubility and thus exerting an emulsifying and stabilizing effect. Cruciani Prodotti Crual's carrageenan powder is generally found in food products at concentrations ranging from 0.005 to 2%.
Cruciani Prodotti Crual's carrageenan powder can be used in the preparation of preserved foods, dietary formulations, baby products, toothpastes, cosmetics, skin cream preparations, pesticides, and laxatives.
Directions for use: Cruciani Prodotti Crual carrageenan powder dissolves in cold water and is completely soluble above 70°C. Gelation occurs when the solution cools. How to use: Pour the carrageenan powder into water or milk, stirring until dissolved (70-80°C). Do not pour the liquid over the powder. Recommended dosage: 0.2-1%.
