In the case of particulate gels (at 250 mM NaCl), shifting to
coarse stranded networks (0.1e0.2% k-carrageenan) did not
significantly affect the amount of water released. This was due to
a high initial porosity of particulate gels and minimal increase
when shifting to a coarse stranded structure. When the continuous
network inverted to carrageenan (0.3e0.6% k-carrageenan), the
amount of water release increased significantly due to the structure
of the carrageenan continuous network.
