Treatment of the natural strains of seaweed Eucheuma Spinosum of the class red seaweeds remove impurities and by fresh water washing and drying to obtain the product. Further purification may be achieved by washing and drying. Iota Carrageenan is the only carrageenan style which is freeze/ thaw stable. Thus, a frozen iota carrageenan gel will be completely syneresis-free when thawed. It is an excellent water binder in concentrations as low as 0.2%.
