The global top producers of carrageenan are the Philippines and Indonesia. [4] [5] [6] Carrageenan, along with agar, is used to produce traditional jelly desserts in the Philippines called gulaman. [7] No clinical evidence establishes carrageenan as an unsafe food ingredient, mainly because its fate after digestion is inadequately determined. [8]
Mastocarpus stellatus, commonly known as carrageenan moss or false Irish moss, [1] is a species in the Rhodophyceae division, a red algae seaweed division, and the Phyllophoracea family. M. stellatus is closely related to Irish Moss ( Chondrus crispus ).
Differences in carrageenan chemistry, with Hypneaceae species producing kappa-carrageenan and Cystocloniaceae producing lambda-carrageenan, was another reason for their distinction. [5] However, these criteria were questioned and molecular analysis later showed that the two families had similar vegetative and reproductive characters.
