Carrageenan is extracted from red seaweed and used to gel, thicken and stabilize food such as dairy, meat, desserts and pet food. If you are sourcing from Indonesia, these are the choices you will make and how an order works with Bospres.
Choose the grade
- Semi-refined (SRC): kappa and iota grades for applications such as pet food and brewery use
- Refined (RC): refined kappa for general food and non-food applications
- Custom blended: carrageenan blends formulated for one specific application, such as meat, dairy, beverage and dessert, cheese or personal care
