• from various sources of the Rhodophyta (marine red algae). The carrageenans are well known for their gel-forming and thickening properties [39][40]. This biopolymer is an anionic polysaccharide whose structure contains galactose, 3,6-anhydrogalactose units, carboxy and hydroxy groups and ester sulfates
