Products

A kappa/lambda blend designed to stabilize HTST, low-fat, low-solids mixes (shakes, soft serve). Prevents separation of refrigerated liquid mix prior to being frozen. Typical use in soft serve mix is ~0.025 – ~0.03%.

Economical, fine-mesh iota carrageenan. At low concentrations, iota carrageenan has the ability to retain large amounts of water and/or brine without forming gel pockets. It is especially useful in tumbled food service chicken strips where freedom from visible gel in a steam tray is required. Provides cooked yield increase and improved “cling” of the marinade and spices in the steam tray. May be used with starch.

An economical refined kappa carrageenan which forms clear gels in water. Suitable for use in cheese products and meat applications where high gel strength and clarity are important.

Provides high viscosity and improved shear stability. Designed for UHT and retorted dairy applications such as canned nutritional drinks (e.g. diet and nutritional supplements). Similar to CM-61BF.

An economical lambda-like carrageenan for cold milk and water reconstituted beverage mixes. Provides suspension and body.

Injection/Tumbling – Fine Mesh, Natural Grade iota carrageenan. Provides good water binding and yield improvement without visible gel formation. Ideal for products intended for food service steam trays, i.e. fajita strips. Also available in suspension-stable S-100Fi version.

Very cost-effective yield improvement system for case-ready tray pack raw poultry and red meat products. Best results are obtained through injection. Reduces cook loss and improves freeze-thaw stability.

S-100Fi is a suspension-stable version of S-100F, used for meat and poultry applications. It provides good water binding and yield improvement without visible gel formation. This product is ideal for products intended for food service steam trays, i.e. fajita strips.

Economical carrageenan blend designed for fluid dairy and HTST chocolate milk products. Most suitable in applications where the use level can be closely matched to dairy plant conditions and those conditions are expected to remain consistent.

CS-9314 is a cold-swelling lambda carrageenan designed for rapid thickening in powder mixes for cold milk or water reconstitution. It provides viscosity, mouth feel and suspension of solids in the reconstituted drinks. This products typical use level is ~0.1-0.15% of the reconstituted drink weight.

Iota carrageenan typically used in imitation chocolate milk (whey/vegetable oil-based) with akappa carrageenan such as CM-9401. Also used in certain retorted nutritional beverages such as soy-based infant formulas. Cold swelling but low or non-gelling in water. (See Further Processed Meat & Poultry Section).

An economical iota carrageenan which provides a very elastic, freeze-thaw stable gel where clarity is not required.

Injection/Tumbling – Provides excellent purge control, slicing and freeze-thaw stability. Provides unique binding of free brine during tumbling and cycle to minimize seal flashing during vacuum packaging. Recommended for high-pump applications.

Produces an injection brine with improved suspension of solid ingredients including starches and proteins. Improved uniformity in the finished product and reduced losses from waste are achieved.

Cost-effective, concentrated kappa/lambda type carrageenan designed primarily for use in soft serve and low-fat dairy applications.

Injection/Tumbling – Lightest color Natural Grade kappa carrageenan. Will not darken poultry products. Ideal for masking gel pockets. Also available in a suspension-stable version: MBF-202i

A pure, fine mesh injectable Natural-Grade kappa carrageenan with no added salts. Ideal for low-sodium products or clean-label needs. Labeled simply “Carrageenan”. Use level is typically 10-20% lower than most other carrageenans in meat since it contains no standardizing agents.

An economical blend of carrageenan types (predominately kappa) which combines maximum performance and economy for a variety of stabilizer applications such as HTST chocolate milk, frozen desserts and culture products (cottage cheese dressing and sour cream). Provides suspension, viscosity and emulsion stability with good resistance to shear. A fine-mesh product designed for processes where nested filter screens are used in the filling operation. Typical use level is ~0.03 in chocolate milk and ~0.02 in hard pack (>10% butter fat) ice cream.

A high viscosity water thickening carrageenan providing excellent body at low temperatures. Also suitable for cold milk systems.

System composed of clear-gelling carrageenans with clarified locust bean gum to provide gelatin like water dessert gels which do not require refrigeration. Typical use level is ~0.7 – 0.9% of the gel weight. (Powder Mix / Ready to Eat).

Brine suspension-stable version of MBF-36. Provides excellent suspension of particulates in the brine. It may be combined with a suitable auxiliary binder such as starch.

Cold swelling, iota carrageenan designed for fresh poultry and pork applications. Reduces package purge in refrigerated tray-packs, allows increased brine addition (to ~ 20%), reduces cook loss and improves juiciness in the finished product. Can be injected and/or tumbled. Typical use in ~0.2% based on finished weight.

A carrageenan blend designed for HTST processed fruit topping systems where flow and cling are required along with clarity and good flavor release.

Natural Grade regular mesh kappa carrageenan, ideal for frozen desserts, HTST chocolate milk, cottage cheese dressing and eggnog.

A cost-effective carrageenan system designed specifically for UHT processed fluid flavored beverages. Provides excellent spread, shear stability and resistance to overstabilization/gellation.
