- Q: What is Iota Carrageenan and how is it used? A: Iota Carrageenan is a natural hydrocolloid derived from specific species of red seaweed. It serves as a gelling agent, thickener, and emulsifier in various culinary applications, particularly in molecular gastronomy. It is ideal for creating weak, elastic gels and is soluble in hot water.
