Kappa Carrageenan

• Dissolves in water at around 79–85°C; the water needs to contain potassium (not calcium, like iota).
• Slightly clouds the gel. Not suitable for freezing – if frozen, water starts separating from the product.
• Only a very small amount is needed, around 0.02–2%.
• Works best combined with locust bean gum.
