    Poligeenan is produced by the harsh acid degradation of carrageenan. Carrageenan in solution is processed at low pH (~1.0) and high temperature (90 °C (190 °F)) for up to six hours until the weight-average molecular weight (M w ) has been reduced to the range 10,000 – 20,000 daltons (10–20 kDa).
