Carrageenan is Refined Kappa Carrageenan derived from Euchema Cottoni and similar species. It is extracted from seaweed, then processed and pulverized to meet the general required parameters for its use in food.
Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid that is extracted from seaweeds (species like Euchema Cottoni). Sarda produces carrageenan using crops that are mainly cultivated in the coastal area of Southern India, Indonesia and Philippines. Its processing is done to remove unwanted natural fibers and mucilage of weed and thus its final product is in powder form. Standard products are made with the addition of small quantity of KCL, Sugar and other ingredients to maintain general specifications. As a polysaccharide with a High molecular weight s, carrageenan is made up of repeating galactose units and 3,6 anhydrogalactose (3,6-AG), both sulfated and nonsulfated. The units are joined by alternating α-1,3 and β-1,4 glycosidic linkages.

- Application Carrageenan For Pet Food
In combinations with various other Gums Carrageenan can impartvarious properties , so it is possible to use Carrageenan as the main texturing additive in various food and non-food applications. Some of these applications are:
- Desserts, carrageen, ice cream, cream, milkshakes, yogurts, salad dressings, sweetened condensed milks
- Sauces: to increase viscosity
- Beer: clarifier to remove haze-causing proteins
- Processed meats (e.g., ham): as a substitute for fat, to increase water retention, to increase volume and to improve slicing
- Toothpaste: as a stabilizer to prevent constituents from separating
- Fruit Gushers: as an ingredient in the encapsulated gel
- Air freshener gels
- Biotechnology: to immobilize cells and enzymes
- Pharmaceuticals: used as an inactive excipient in pills and tablets
- Soy milk and other plant milks: to thicken
- Diet sodas: to enhance texture and suspend flavors.
