The carrageenan from Iridaea undulosa B.; Analysis, fractionation and alkaline treatment

The carrageenan extracted from the seaweed Iridaea undulosa is devoid of a k‐fraction and is composed of major amounts of ‘intermediate fractions’ (fractions which precipitate at potassium chloride concentrations higher than 0.125M) and lesser amounts of a ‘soluble fraction’ (soluble in 2.0M potassi...
