Kappa 2 Carragenina

Kappa 2 Carrageenan (called kappa-2 (K2) or weak kappa, kappa ii carrageenan) is a natural, water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from red algae (Gigartina skottsbergii) found in the cold waters off the coast of Chile. This versatile ingredient is widely used in dairy products, beverages, puddings, and dairy desserts.

Known for its unique gel characteristics and high protein reactivity, Kappa 2 Carrageenan is the ideal choice for stabilizing protein systems, enhancing mouthfeel, and providing stability in various food applications.

4. Key Features

Kappa 2 Carrageenan forms elastic gels when combined with potassium and calcium ions, offering excellent stability with a lower tendency to form rigid gels compared to other carrageenan types.

Unlike Kappa I Carrageenan, Kappa 2 dissolves efficiently at a lower temperature (60°C), making it perfect for products requiring lower processing temperatures.

Kappa 2 provides higher viscosity and better stability, particularly in dairy and beverage applications, where it helps control fat separation and improves texture.

Compared to other types of carrageenan, Kappa 2 exhibits lower syneresis (water release), ensuring better water retention and product stability.

6. Applications

Dairy Products and Beverages:

Kappa 2 Carrageenan excels in stabilizing protein systems in beverages such as cocoa milk, where it enhances suspension. It reacts with milk proteins to form a thixotropic network, preventing gel formation and achieving optimal suspension with lower dosages.

Puddings and Dairy Desserts:

Kappa 2 Carrageenan forms smooth, elastic gels with excellent mouthfeel, making it ideal for applications in puddings, custards, and other dairy-based desserts.

High-End Beverages and Health Foods:

Due to its superior stability and compatibility with dairy systems, Kappa 2 Carrageenan is also ideal for use in high-end health beverages and dairy products.

7. Why Choose Kappa 2 Carrageenan?

Kappa 2 Carrageenan not only offers exceptional stability and gel properties, but it also achieves superior suspension at lower usage levels. This makes it ideal for dairy products, beverages, and desserts where texture, mouthfeel, and long-term stability are key to success.
