Increasing use of carrageenan gum in processed food is expected to drive its demand in the food and beverages segment
The functional properties of carrageenan gum and its versatility meet the needs and requirements of food and beverage manufacturers, as it improves the properties of food such as texture and stability of liquid content. In beverages, it is used for clarification of beer and as a fining agent in wine to remove protein. It is primarily used as a stabiliser, thickener, protein stabiliser, and particle suspension and emulsifying agent in various processed food products such as salad dressings, ice creams, dairy based products, sour cream and chocolate milk.
Carrageenan gum is widely used as a substitute for animal based gelatins in various food products for vegan consumers.
