abstract

  • Carrageenans, also known as Irish Moss, are derived from the seaweed Chondrus crispus. Until recently, they have been used in small amounts, in a limited number of foods, to alter taste, texture, or appearances. Evidence from animal studies indicates that they may he associated with both potentially adverse and beneficial physiological responses in segments of the population who may be ingesting higher amounts considerably in excess of the previous estimates of 2.5 grams. © Williams and Wilkins 1995.
