Kappa Semi Refined Carrageenan obtained through treatment of Eucheuma cottonii of the Rhodophyceae class (red seaweeds) and fresh water washing and drying. Further purified by washing and drying. Consists of potassium salts of polysaccharide sulphate esters which on hydrolysis, yield galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose. Other salts (sodium, calcium and magnesium) of the polysaccharide sulphate esters are present in lower mount.

Iota Refined Carrageenan
Obtained through treatment of Eucheuma Spinosum of the Rhodophyceae class (red seaweeds) and fresh water washing and drying. Further purified by washing and drying. Iota Carrageenan is the only type of carrageenan which is stable on freezing and thawing. Thus, a frozen iota carrageenan gel is syneresis-free when thawed. Excellent water binding properties at low concentrations (from 0.2). More
