Is a gelling agent that, like the other carrageenans, is derived from a red algae species. Originally, the name Carrageen comes from Ireland, where this alga has been used for more than 600 years. Kappa allows gels with a stable and brittle texture. Properties: Refined powder. When cold, mix with ingredients and bring to a boil. The rapid gelation allows the coating and encasing of ingredients. Once gelled, a preparation with kappa remains heat stable up to 60 ° C. In acidic solutions, Kappa loses some of its gelling ability.
