the influence of temperature is also an important factor in deciding which type of carrageenan should be used in a food system. All carrageen ans are soluble at high temperatures developing very low fluid processing viscosities. However kappas and iotas set to various gel textures from 40 to 70 C depending on the cations present. These gels are, course, stable at room temperature but can be remelted by heating to about 5-10 degrees above the gelling temperature.on cooling the system will re-gel
