Carrageenan: a promising material for packaging paper
June 4, 2015
Did you know that a popular food ingredient can possibly do wonders for the packaging paper industry?
A recent study of the Department of Science and Technology’s Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) shows that carrageenan powder is a promising dry strength agent for recycled fibers(RCFs) made into packaging paper, particularly recyclable corrugated cartons.
Sourced from a red seaweed species that abounds in the Philippines, carrageenan is commonly used in the food and beverage industry as it can easily gel, thicken and stabilize a wide range of food products. It can also be safely used in personal care and pharmaceutical goods.
