Semi-Refined Kappa & Iota Carrageenan with Custom Blends for Food and Industrial Application

At PT Rote Karaginan Nusantara, we provide premium Semi-Refined Kappa & Iota Carrageenan (SRC) made from Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma spinosum, sustainably sourced from Indonesia. Alongside raw materials, we offer a full range of custom blends under our “Sette” line, developed to solve specific formulation challenges across food, beverage, pet, pharma, and industrial sectors.

Semi-Refined Kappa Carrageenan (SRC Kappa)

Kappa SRC delivers strong, brittle gels with high water-binding capacity—ideal for meat processing, dairy, and structured gel systems. It provides consistent texture, excellent sliceability, and reliable performance in industrial formulations.

Semi-Refined Iota Carrageenan (SRC Iota)

Iota SRC forms soft, elastic gels with smooth mouthfeel and great freeze–thaw stability. It is well-suited for dairy desserts, pet food, and applications requiring flexibility and uniform texture.

Kappa ATC (Alkali-Treated Cottonii)

Kappa ATC is a clean, minimally processed raw material ideal for further refinement or direct use where cost efficiency and natural functionality are key. It provides strong gelling properties and is widely used in food, hydrocolloids production, and industrial applications.

Iota ATS (Alkali-Treated Spinosum)

Iota ATC offers soft, elastic gel characteristics and stable viscosity, making it suitable for dairy, personal care, and specialty applications. Its natural versatility makes it a preferred base material for further processing into refined products.
