κ-Carrageenan (CAS 11114-20-8)
QUICK LINKS
κ-Carrageenan is a linear sulfated polysaccharide that functions as a thickening and stabilizing agent in various experimental applications. It interacts with proteins and forms a gel-like structure, which can be utilized to modify the texture and viscosity of solutions in development applications. At the molecular level, κ-Carrageenan binds to negatively charged molecules, such as proteins, through electrostatic interactions, leading to the formation of a stable network. This molecular mechanism allows κ-Carrageenan to effectively modify the rheological properties of solutions, which may be useful for controlling the physical characteristics of experimental samples. κ-Carrageenan has the ability to interact with water molecules, contributing to its role in modifying the texture and stability of experimental solutions.
