Overview

Description

Compared with ι-Carrageenan, λ-Carrageenan has better thickening effect. λ-Carrageenan can also be used in combination with other colloids, and can play the complementary role of various single colloids, thereby improving the structure and properties of the composite colloid, enhancing its rheological properties, expanding its application range or improving its use function. λ-Carrageenan has unique biological activities, mainly manifested in its antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-tumor, anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory and other activities, making them widely used in the field of biomedicine. Moreover, the biological activity of carrageenan and its derivatives is mainly determined by its internal galactan structure. After carrageenan is degraded or substituted, its basic structure does not change, thus retaining the original biological activity.
