Carrageenan is a cell-wall hydrocolloid found in certain species of seaweeds belonging to red algae. It is a gelling, thickening, and texturizing agent. Water dessert gels can be made without gelatin by using Carrageenans as the gelling agent. An advantage of this is that prepared gels can have a very long shelf life and are stable at fairly high temperatures. Fish gels and aspics can be made quickly and inexpensively using Carrageenans. Many gel-type candies formerly made with Agar are now using Carrageenans as a total or partial replacement for Agar. It is used in dairy, salad dressing, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. view less

These properties are utilized in ice cream stabilizers, especially in high temperature, short-time processes, where conditions call for 80° Celsius, for 20–30 seconds. It is used as a stabilizing, thickening, and controlling agent in dairy, bakery, meat, and beverage applications. view less

Gum Tragacanth is a gummy emulsifying, stabilizing, and suspending agent that has a very long shelf life. Because of its relative stability to heat, acidity, and aging, Tragacanth is widely used as a thickener and stabilizer in pourable salad dressings of the regular and low calorie types. For similar reasons, it is used in relish sauces, condiment bases, sweet pickles, liquors, and mayonnaise. It is used at about 0.4–0.75% in the above products. Tragacanth provides clarity and brilliance to frozen pie fillings and toppings in which suspended fruit, fruit purees and flavors are used. The gum gives good shelf life to these acidic products. view less
