Origination History

Carrageenan extracts from red seaweeds such as girgartinaceae, hypaneaceae, etc have been identified to produce gelling, stabilizing and viscous properties. They are used for commercial purpose for their properties. The extraction of gum from these seaweeds is a long process. The seaweeds are dried first and washed perfectly and then sent to alkaline extraction process to separate the natural ingredient from the seaweed extract. Kappa Carrageenan is a specific extract from a red algae called kappaphycus alvarezii wherein, it belongs to the carrageenan algae family and also a commercial source. This particular sea weed is dissolved into an aqueous liquid and pure kappa is obtained by filtering the other materials stick to it.
