Detailed introduction:
Iota Carrageenan is a gelling agent extracted from a type of seaweed also called Irish Moss. It is found off the coast of Ireland, close to the town of Carrageen from where it gets its name. Irish moss has been used for centuries to make a traditional milk pudding dessert.
Iota Carrageenan creates a soft gel with an elastic consistency, much like a traditional egg custard. Unlike many other hydrocolloids, iota Carrageenan can be used for setting milk and cream based preparations making it ideal for cooking a vegetarian panna cotta.
The thickening power of iota Carrageenan is about five times greater in dairy based products than water based ones because the compound reacts with lactic acid.
Iota carrageenan is the unique style which is uneventful even after freezing-thaw ,so freezing Iota carrageenan will not syneresis when thawed . It is an excellent water binder in concentrations as low as 0.2%.
