Carrageenan is widely used in the food and other industries as thickener and stabilizing agents.This means that they are easy to pump but stiffen again afterwards. When Carrageenan is used in food products, carrageenan has the E-number E407 or E407a. When iota carrageenan is combined with sodium stearoyl lactylate,a synergistic effect is created.The essential difference in the refining process is that the carrageenan is dissolved and filtered to remove cell wall debris.

Applications: carrageenan in food, medicine, daily chemical, biochemical, architectural coatings, textile and food aspects of the use is widespread.
