Effect of pre-extraction alkali treatment on the chemical structure and gelling properties of extracted hybrid carrageenan from Chondrus crispus and Ahnfeltiopsis devoniensis

to investigate the effect of alkali type, concentration and treatment duration on the chemical structure and the gelling properties of extracted hybrid carrageenan (HK). In both seaweeds, increasing the KOH content and the pre-treatment duration gives HK with lower amounts of n-carrageenan units, wh...
