IOTA dissolves in cold water and is heated to around 80 degrees for gelification. A soft gel that does not form while the mixture is stirred. If the gel breaks, it will reform if allowed to rest. Food-grade carrageenan is a purified extract from red seaweed, (Chondrus crispus). It is used as a thickener and stabilizer in a wide range of food products including frozen yogurt and reduced-fat ice cream.

Carrageenan is an abundant, natural material which is very useful as a thickening agent. Other thickening agents exist, but carrageenan represents our best choice because it is a naturally sourced material with little taste or odor which has a long history of safe use in food products.
