Carrageenan is a polysaccharide, consumed as a natural preservative in several food and pharmacological applications. Carrageenan comes under the family of linear sulfated polysaccharides which are taken out from red edible seaweeds and are largely used in the food industry. The demand for Carrageenan has reduced as customers have inclined more towards alternatives such as RC Gel pressed products and SRC-grade food. As a huge population desires nonvegetarian food, therefore, there is a great demand for meat, hence fueling this market. The accessibility of alternatives such as agar, a jelly-like material has made the carrageenan market down.
The pharmaceutical industry is one of the key end-use industries of carrageenan due to its expanding application as a gelling agent.
Owing to the varied applications of Carrageenan in dairy, meat and pet foods, the US has developed an ample market for Carrageenan and its value has augmented rapidly in the last few years.
