In order to improve these two points, a special iota type carrageenan was developed with outstanding characteristics, providing the gummy into account. Correct ratio between the iota extract and other carrageen extracts is very important, since a wrong ratio or poor standardizing could lead to a relatively soft gummy or to the opposite, a gummy with a short texture and with problems in the depositing stage. Iota gives the characteristic gummy texture,but stronger gelling kappa based extract types are additionally needed for shape definition and demouldability.
