    ABSTRACT

    Carrageenan is one of the commercially important water soluble polysaccharides


    extracted from certain red algae and it is widely utilised in foods, dairy products and
    pharmaceuticals. In India, there is no carrageenan manufacturing unit and
    knowledge on the processing technologies of this phytochemical is very limited.
    Various methods available for the extraction of different types of carrageenan are
    reviewed in this paper.

    Introduction and 1983; Mollion, 1983; Cheney et.al.,


    1987; Chiovitti et.al., 1988; Murano ef.al.,
    Carrageenan is a sulphated 1997; Mollet et.al., 1998; Seema Pasricha
    polymer obtained from some red seaweeds ef.al., 1998). The type of yield of
    belonging to the families Gigartinaceae, carrageenan obtained from Indian red
    Solieriaceae and Hypneaceae. It ddfers algae are given in Table-1. Seasonal
    from agar mainly in its higher sulphated variation in the carrageenan content
    fraction and higher ash content. As our were also recorded by few workers
    knowledge on the carrageenan yielding (Krishnamurthy and Rama Rao 1968;
    plants is very limited, information Fuller and Mathieson, 1972; Breden and
    available on different aspects of this Bird, 1994; Reani et.al., 1998).
    sulphated polysaccharide is summarised Chondrus crispus, Gigartina stellata,
    here. Iridaea spp, Eucheuma spp and Kappaphycus
    Crrr~rrgeenophytes spp are the chief raw materials used for
    In recent years much attentionhas carrageenan extraction. The production
    been paid to the carrageenan contents of of carrageenan was started in 1930's in the
    various species of Chondrus, Gigartina, United States. In China, the production of
    Eticheuma, ~ a p h y c u sHypnea,
    , Laurencia, carrageenan was started in 1970's using
    Solieria, Agardhiella and Sarconema (Chen Eucheuma gelatinae and Hypnea as raw
    et.al., 1973; Parekh et.al., 1979 and 1988 a, material. The major carrageenan
