GENU® SMART Carrageenan delivers controlled gelling, reduced viscosity, and stable hydration for advanced food and personal care formulations.
Derived from red seaweed, GENU® SMART Carrageenan uses patented technology to control the gelling cations of carrageenan. The lower ion content helps to improve solubility so it dissolves at lower temperatures, or higher salt levels, and you can tailor the gelling or melting temperature.
See how our patented technology benefits applications from personal care to soft gel caps and home care.
Cold-soluble GENU® SMART Carrageenan, with its controlled gelling, acts as an efficient fragrance carrier that reduces dissipation due to heating for a longer lasting product.
GENU® SMART Carrageenan offers unique, consistent stabilisation to prevent oils from separating and provides a creamy texture.
GENU® SMART Carrageenan acts as a vegan alternative to gelatine without compromising yield and quality in the formulation of soft gel capsules.
Ask how GENU® SMART Carrageenan can help you innovate in the area of water absorption and moisture control for vacuum packaging, such as envelopes for noodles, spices and more.
With its controlled cations, GENU® SMART Carrageenan enhances aqueous dissolution and provides thickening, stability and suspension. It can be used with high levels of glycerol when water reduction is desired for travel-friendly oral care formulations.
As a business, we rarely stand still. We invest a huge amount of time and energy in researching, assessing and analyzing trends and insights across both industries we work in. Developing a deep understanding of our customers is a big part of our product development approach.
