Preparation of refined κ-carrageenan from Kappaphycus alvarezii granules via semi refined kappa-carrageenan

overview

CSIR CSMCRI Bhavnaga has developed a technology to produce refined κ-carrageenan from solid seaweed residue, with high yield (25–30% w.r.t. dry seaweed granules). Already transferred to industry for commercial production in India, it reduces dependence on imports and offers revenue potential of ~₹50 Lakhs for licensees. Technical support and demonstrations are provided.
