Q1: What is the main difference between Kappa, Iota, and Lambda Carrageenan?
A1: The key difference lies in their gelling properties. Kappa forms hard gels, Iota forms soft gels, and Lambda does not gel but thickens. The choice depends on your desired final texture.
Q2: Is carrageenan safe as a food additive?
A2: Yes, major food safety authorities worldwide, including JECFA and the FDA, approve purified carrageenan as a safe food additive for specified uses. Our product meets relevant food-grade standards.
Q3: Can you provide custom blends or specific carrageenan types for my product?
A3: Yes. As an OEM manufacturer, we can work with you to provide specific carrageenan types (K, I, L) or customized blends to achieve the exact functionality required in your application.
