Carrageenia belongs to the phylum Rhodophyta, the family Carniaceae, and the genus Carrageensis. It is naturally distributed along the Atlantic coast and the southeastern coast of my country as well as Qingdao, Dalian and other sea areas. It is an important economic seaweed in China. Carrageenan is not only an important prototheca for carrageenan production, but has also been increasingly used in the medical field in recent years, attracting widespread attention. 1Introduction Editor: The name of carrageenan is that carrageenan grows among the rocky cliffs in the sea. It is three to four inches long and purple-yellow. The taste is extremely smooth. \x0d\ If it is soaked in water for a long time or soaked in boiling water, it will deepen into a gelatinous state. \x0d\Nature and flavor are sweet, cold, slippery, and non-toxic. \x0d\Efficacy: It can reduce hot air and treat lung diseases in children. People who are engaged in alchemy can resist the harm of alchemy stones after eating it. Relieve noodle fever. However, men should not eat it regularly, otherwise they will develop old diseases, damage the blood and gas in the waist and kidney meridians, cause cold and numbness in the feet, and make people look bad. \x0d\Alias: Carrageenan (Taiwan)\x0d\Chinese Pinyin: jiao cha cai\x0d\English name: Carageen or Irish moss\x0d\Chemical composition: Contains carrageenan (carrageenan), D-kainic acid ( D-rhodic acid). \x0d\Chondrus ocellatus Aolmes., the fronds are used as medicine. \x0d\A type of red algae, the scientific name is Chondrus crispus. Small, clumping, with thin fronds, 5 to 25 cm (2 to 10 inches) long, it grows abundantly off the rocky Atlantic coasts of the British Isles, continental Europe, and North America. Fresh carrageen is soft, with a texture like cartilage, ranging from green-yellow to dark purple; after drying and decolorizing, it becomes slightly yellow, translucent, horn-shaped, and hard. The main component of carrageenan is carrageenan, which can be extracted for sale by boiling dried carrageenan. Carrageenan can be used in leather processing and as emulsifier and suspending agent in drugs, food, cosmetics and shoe polish. There are several kinds of seaweed that grow with carrageen and are often called Irish moss. In North America, the method of harvesting carrageen is to pick it up from shallow water with a special rake. In Europe, carrageen is harvested after washing up on the coast. \x0d\ Through surveys and research in the Liaodong Peninsula from 1987 to 1992, it was determined that the only species of Chondrus that is widely distributed is Chondrus ocellatus holmes. The shape and size of this algal body vary greatly, and it can be divided into 4 different variants. Among them, chondrus ocellatus, the original variant of carrageenan, was discovered for the first time in China. \x0d\Carrageenan\x0d\Carrageenan, also known as deer antler gum, is also commonly known as carrageenan in the market. \x0d\Properties: It is a polymer, its unit is carrabiose, consisting of 1 molecule of D-hemmicose and 1 molecule of 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose. The pure product is colorless amorphous powder. Soluble in hot water, partially soluble in cold water. The optical rotation of the part soluble in cold water [α]D+50°, and the optical rotation of the insoluble part [α]D+63°. It has gelling power similar to frozen agar, but weaker. \x0d\The viscosity can be enhanced by potassium salt and ammonium salt. Treatment with inorganic acid can cause it to lose metal and leave acidic polysaccharides. It can be completely precipitated from dichloromethyl benzene. \x0d\ It is the red alga chondrus crispus and another carrageen gigartina stellata produced on the coast of the North Atlantic. The composition of its dry matter cell membrane can reach 80%. It is also contained in the Japanese carrageen Chondrus ocellatus. The above dried material or algae washed with water and alcohol are extracted with hot water, and then repeatedly precipitated and refined with alcohol. \x0d\In food, it can be used to make jelly, chocolate, and as a stabilizer for dairy products. \x0d\ For medicinal purposes, it can be used as cod liver oil emulsifier and bacterial culture medium. \x0d\Industrially used for fabric and leather processing. \x0d\Carrageenan polysaccharide is a polysaccharide extracted from the red alga Chondrus ocellatus. Because of its stickiness! Properties such as coagulation and precipitation with proteins are not only widely used in industry, but also have important applications in the medical field. For example, as an excipient for pharmaceuticals! Disintegrant! Cough reliever! Treat colitis! Lower your cholesterol levels! Lower blood fat! Anti-virus etc.

Studying the inhibitory effect of various red algae polysaccharides on Ehrlich ascites tumor and Meth-A fibroma in mice, it was found that carrageenan polysaccharide has obvious anti-tumor effects. Naturally distributed along the Atlantic coast, the southeastern coast of my country, and sea areas such as Qingdao and Dalian, it is an important economic seaweed in China. Born on rocks in the high tide zone or low tide zone or in rock marshes in the middle tide zone where the wind and waves are calmer. Editorial identification of medicinal value\x0d\The algal body is purple-red, flaky, multi-branched, fan-shaped, about 7cm long, and cartilage. The base of the main branch is flat and cylindrical, with a shell-like anchor, and the upper part is flat, with 2-7 forked branches. The capsule is oval in shape, protruding on one side of the algae, and sinking on the opposite side. When viewed against the sun, it can be seen that the central part is darker and is surrounded by a translucent ring, shaped like an eyeball. The smell is slightly fishy and the taste is slightly salty. \x0d\Basic source: It is the algae of Carrageensis, a plant in the family Carniaceae. \x0d\Function\x0d\The extracted carrageenan has a certain interference effect on influenza B and mumps viruses, and has anti-pepsin or anti-ulcer effects. Carrageenan can be used as a light laxative and is also used in orthopedics to promote connective tissue proliferation. \x0d\Rhodophyta\x0d\Gigartinaceae\x0d\Chondrus Stackhouse\x0d\C. ocellatus Holmes\x0d\The algal body is purple-red, the top is evergreen, flat and leathery, clustered , several forked branches, almost fan-shaped as a whole, the capsule is oval, with one side protruding and one side concave.
