Carageenan is a linear sulfated, that is taken out from red edible seaweeds. It is a major element in food industries that are used for gelling and stabilizing properties. These have an extensive variety of uses in diverse food segments such as dairy and meat products. Carrageenan is of diverse types based on the number of sulphates per disaccharide. The major applications of carrageenan are in from different industries which include Food Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, and others.
Lambda-carrageenan is a non-gelling sulphatedgalactan. It is soluble polysaccharide in cold or hot solutions and is also soluble for all salts of all concentration, with low concentrations imparting high viscosity to resolutions. By composition wise it is composed of alternating 1,5-linked galactose (about 70% contain 2-sulfate) and 1,4-linked galactose 6-sulfate residues. The Lambda-carrageenan is non-gelling, irrespective of the captions with which it is associated. It is a unique which has thickening agent which is not letting gel formation, even under extreme conditions (high sugar or salt content in the food), and is also used as the salad dressings, sauces, and fruit drinks. Over the food applications, lambda makes a gluey but pseudo plastic solution, or shear-thinning, under mechanical action. In liquids, such as dairy products (EU), syrups, beverages (EU), tomato sauce and salad dressings, lambda enables a full creamy texture.

Based on seaweed source, lambda carrageenan market is segmented into gigartina source, iridaea source, chondrus source and eucheuma source. Based on type of grade, market is segmented into pharmaceutical grade and food grade (E407, E407a and others). In application, market is segmented into pharmaceutical industry, food industry (meat, beverages, dairy and pet food) and others.
The lambda carrageenan market is driven by increase in demand from food &beverage industries, followed by rise in demand for processed foods by consumer’s and increase in preference for consumption of low fat products. However, growth in dependence for seaweed production and rise in issue related to the side effects from these food ingredients may impact the market. Moreover, rise in innovations & advancements in technological or product offerings and growth in applications of carrageenan are key opportunities for market.
Based on geography, the Asian-Pacific region dominates the lambda carrageenan market owing to abundant production of lambda carrageenan and rise in demand from the manufacturers of processed foods in the region. Whereas, the North-American and European regions are expected to witness higher growth rate due to increase in demand from food & beverage sectors and rise in number of functional benefits over the forecast period. In upcoming years, it is predicted that future of the market will be optimistic as a result of rise in trend among the consumers for convenience foods like ready-to-eat and ready-to-drink products during the forecast period.
