What is Carrageenan Iota?
Carrageenan Iota is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from red seaweed, known for its smooth, elastic gel formation and excellent thickening properties. It is widely used in dairy products, plant-based alternatives, molecular gastronomy, and frozen desserts, providing a creamy, soft texture with a unique ability to form gels that remain stable under freeze-thaw conditions.
Uses & Applications:
🔹 Molecular Gastronomy – Creates soft, elastic gels perfect for plated desserts and modernist cuisine.
🔹 Dairy & Plant-Based Milks – Improves texture and prevents separation in yogurts, cream, and nut milks.
🔹 Sauces & Dressings – Enhances viscosity and stabilizes emulsions in creamy sauces and salad dressings.
🔹 Gel-Based Desserts – Produces smooth, flexible gels ideal for custards, puddings, and jellies.
🔹 Frozen Desserts – Prevents ice crystal formation, ensuring silky-smooth ice cream and sorbets.
