As a professional China carrageenan supplier, Jiangsu Zipin has been supplying carrageenan for many years. Carrageenan is a collective name for a group of linear sulfated polysaccharides extracted from marine edible red algae. These polysaccharides are widely used in the food industry due to their ability to stably bind to proteins in food, for example, as coagulants, thickeners or stabilizers in jelly, dairy products and meat products.
