Nourisi® Semi-refined Carrageenan, often known as SRC, is a functional hydrocolloid obtained from selected red seaweed through an alkali treatment process that retains part of the natural seaweed fiber. This production method keeps more of the original structure of the seaweed while offering dependable thickening and gelling performance. Because of its cost efficiency and stable functionality, it is widely used in large-scale food processing and products that do not require high transparency.

Semi-refined carrageenan is extensively used in sausages, ham, luncheon meat and canned meat products. It improves water retention during mixing and cooking, supports gel formation, increases product firmness and enhances slicing performance.
SRC plays an important role in wet pet food such as canned dog food and cat food. It creates a strong and stable gel network that holds water and meat particles together, resulting in a product with uniform structure and good appearance.
Semi-refined carrageenan is widely used in jelly cups, gel snacks and low-cost gel desserts. It provides a firm and elastic gel texture with good bite and structure.
SRC is applied in noodles, seasoning products, sauces and other food items where thickening and stabilization are needed. It helps maintain viscosity, improve product consistency and support overall texture in a wide range of formulations.
Natural Fiber Retention: A portion of the seaweed’s original cellulose is kept in SRC, giving the product a natural appearance and a slightly opaque color.
Strong Water-Holding Capacity: SRC is highly effective in binding water, especially in meat and pet food applications. It reduces water loss during heat processing, improves product yield and helps maintain firmness and juiciness in finished products.
Reliable Gelling Performance: The gels formed by SRC are strong, elastic and stable.
They hold their shape under thermal processing, high-temperature sterilization and long-term storage. This makes SRC suitable for foods that must remain intact during transportation and shelf life.
Stable Viscosity and Texture Control: SRC provides consistent thickening behavior across a wide range of temperatures and processing environments.
It allows manufacturers to achieve predictable viscosity and uniform product texture in large production batches.
Cost-effective Functionality: Because the production process is simpler and retains more natural seaweed content, SRC offers an economical solution compared with refined carrageenan.
Its cost advantage makes it ideal for high-volume applications where strong performance is needed but clarity is not a requirement.
Good Compatibility in Protein and Salt Systems: SRC performs well in formulations containing proteins, salts and phosphate. This compatibility helps stabilize meat emulsions, enhance texture and prevent separation in complex food systems.
