Introduction:
Carrageenan (Carrageen, CAS 9000-07-1), also called pelvetia silquosa glue, Carrageen glue, Irish moss glue, is a kind of red algae from the sea (including Carrageen, algae eucheuma, Chinese fir belongs to food and sand, etc.) to extract the polysaccharide collectively, is a mixture of a variety of material, usually in the food industry it is used as thickener, gelling agent, emulsifier and stabilizer.

Characteristics
Solubility: insoluble in cold water, but can swell into a block of glue, insoluble in organic solvents, easily soluble in hot water into translucent colloidal solution (the dissolution rate increased in hot water above 70℃;
● Gelation: in the presence of potassium ions can generate heat reversible gel;
● Thickening: low concentration of the formation of low viscosity of the sol, close to the Newtonian fluid, the concentration of high viscosity of the sol, it is a non-Newtonian fluid.
● Synergy: synergistic effect with colloid such as locust bean gum, Konjac gum and Xanthan gum can improve the elasticity and water retention of the gel;
Health value: Carrageenan has the basic characteristics of soluble dietary fiber. After being degraded in vivo, carrageenan can form soluble complex with blood fibrin. It can be decomposed into CO2, H2, methane, short-chain fatty acids such as formic acid, acetic acid and propionic acid by coliform bacteria, and become the energy source of probiotics.

Medical uses
A 2006 in vitro study and a 2007 mouse study at the National Cancer Institute in the United States suggested that carrageenans might function as a topical microbicide. A 1987 in vitro study in Spain revealed a broad spectrum antiviral activity of carrageenan.
