| Abstract: | This study presents alkaline extraction of red seaweed,
Eucheuma cotonii, to yield semi-refined carrageenan (SRC) of kappa
type. Temperatures 60-80°C were suitable for extraction
of SRC. At 80°C using 1.0 M KOH, produced SRC contained the highest
purity of 3,
6-anhydrogalactose, a lower heavy metal concentration and gave highest rupture
force. |
