Tailoring kappa/iota-hybrid carrageenan from Mastocarpus stellatus with desired gel quality through pre-extraction alkali treatment

Mastocarpus stellatus seaweeds were subjected to different alkali pre-treatments to investigate the effect of alkali type, concentration and treatment duration on the chemical structure and the gelling properties of extracted kappa/iota-hybrid carrageenan (KI). Increasing the concentration in KOH an...
