Carrageenan, Kappa Type, 100 Grams

Carrageenan, Kappa Type, 100 Grams is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from red seaweed, widely used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in food, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications. Kappa carrageenan forms firm, brittle gels, particularly in the presence of potassium ions.

Key features and applications:

• Produces strong, rigid gels ideal for applications requiring firm structure.
• Reacts with potassium ions to enhance gel strength and stability.
• Suitable for microbiological media, food formulations, and pharmaceutical applications.
• Commonly used in dairy products, gels, and controlled-release systems.
• Supplied as 100 grams, suitable for laboratory or small-scale production use.

Kappa-type carrageenan is valued for its reliable gelling properties and consistency in experimental and industrial applications.
