Introduction of Carrageenan
Carrageenan (E407) is a natural plant-based hydrocolloid extracted from red algae, widely adopted as thickener, gelling agent and stabilizer in global food manufacturing. As a leading manufacturer integrating konjac and seaweed colloids, Yizhi Konjac Bio-Tech provides full-spectrum carrageenan raw materials and customized compound stabilizer formulas. Our carrageenan performs much better when blended with konjac powder, effectively cutting your raw material cost while upgrading product texture. All raw materials pass strict safety testing, conform to FDA, JECFA and EU food additive standards, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan-friendly for clean label food projects.
Three Types of Carrageenan We Supply
