  • Kappa Carrageenan is a food additive that is commonly used in the culinary industry for various purposes especially as a gelling agent. Here are some culinary usages for Carrageenan Kappa:
  • Desserts: Kappa Carrageenan is commonly used in the production of gelatin-based desserts, such as gummies and marshmallows. It helps to thicken and stabilize these products and create a smooth, firm texture.
  • Dairy products: Kappa Carrageenan can be added to dairy products, such as cream, ice cream, and yogurt, to improve their texture and stability. It also helps prevent separation and enhances the mouthfeel.
  • Meat products: Kappa Carrageenan is used in some meat products, such as sausages and deli meats, to improve texture and water retention. It also helps to prevent syneresis, the separation of water from the product.

  • Vegan and vegetarian products: Kappa Carrageenan is often used in vegan and vegetarian products, such as plant-based milks and cheeses, to replace the texture and functionality of dairy products.
  • Kappa Carrageenan is unstable after freezing and slightly cloudier versus Iota.
