There are various hydrocolloids available in the market like Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum, Cassia Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Gum Arabic, Tamarind Gum, etc. In wet pet food, gels and thickeners fulfill a wide range of process and product roles. br Carrageenan is one of the best gelling agents due to its fantastic properties and it is a natural material. In wet pet food, arguably the synergistic interaction between kappa-carrageenan, it forms a weak, brittle gel in the presence of potassium ions. But with a non-gelling hydrocolloid like cassia gum, to form elastic gels is the most important functionality. br But carrageenan has its own disadvantage like its’s price is very high and italso has many applications. Besides, carrageenan grows in the sea and nowadays the sea temperature in the world keeps on increasing. This affects the growth of commercial seaweed used for manufacturing kappa-carrageenan and gives rise to shortages. br Therefore, optimization of gels and thickeners offers many opportunities in cost reduction, and also brings additional benefits with it like palatability, product quality, and fecal quality.
