Abstract
Modified kappa-carrageenan containing hydroxyalkyl groups each having two to three carbon atoms, the degree of substitution of such groups above the corresponding unsubstituted kappa-carrageenan being from 0.1 to 2.0 meq. per gram, forms aqueous gels exhibiting decreased syneresis and melting point and increased compliancy as compared with the corresponding unmodified kappa-carrageenan. The modified kappa-carrageenan is useful in food products as well as in latex paint.
