Carrageenan is a family of linear sulfated polysaccharides extracted from red algae. These hydrocolloids are produced via alkaline extraction and alcohol precipitation to form gel networks.
Avoid ingestion of degraded kappa-carrageenan due to potential inflammatory effects. Store in a dry, cool environment below 25°C to prevent microbial growth or clumping. Ensure dust control during handling to avoid respiratory irritation.
