(1) Dairy products: In yogurt, ice - cream, etc., it can prevent the separation of whey, make the product texture uniform and smooth, and prolong the shelf life.

(2) Meat products: Used in hams, sausages, etc., it can improve the water - holding capacity, increase the tenderness and elasticity of meat, and reduce the cost.

(3) Beverages: In fruit juice beverages and plant - based protein beverages, it is used as a suspending agent and stabilizer to evenly disperse the components in the beverage and prevent stratification.

(4) Skin - care products: In face creams, lotions, etc., it plays a role in thickening and stabilizing, making the product have a suitable consistency and good spreadability.

(5) Hair - care products: Used in shampoos and conditioners, it can increase the viscosity of the product, improve the hand - feeling during use, and can also form a protective film on the hair surface to moisturize and soften the hair.

(9) Printing and dyeing industry: As a printing paste, it has good fluidity and stability, which can make the dye evenly distributed on the fabric and improve the printing quality.

(1) Gelling function: Under certain conditions, carrageenan can form gels. The gel strength and elasticity vary depending on the type and concentration. It is used in the food industry to make gel - like products such as jelly and pudding.

(2) Thickening function: It can increase the viscosity of liquids, giving the system a certain consistency. It is applied in beverages, sauces and other products to improve the taste and stability of the products.
