Dairy

Carrageenan supports and interacts with other ingredients in dairy applications. 

Dairy products are produced by either cold or heat processing and carrageenan fits seamlessly into both methods.

Carrageenan reacts with surrounding proteins and cations to provide different textures, ranging from elastic to hard and soft to firm, depending on the type of carrageenan. Carrageenan can be used in the following applications:

  1. Chocolate milk
  2. Flavoured milk-based drinks
  3. Cold shaken milk-based drinks

Typical benefits of carrageenan in these applications include:

  • Improved viscosity
  • Improved taste profile and mouthfeel
  • Giving “body” to the application
  • Prevention of sedimentation/precipitation
