Explanation:

  • Hydrocolloids are polysaccharides of high molecular weight extracted from plants and algae or produced by microbial synthesis.
  • Hydrocolloids can be applied to many food applications and categories.
  • Algae-derived hydrocolloids such as carrageenan, agar, and alginate are widely used in the food industry as thickening, gelling, and emulsifying agents.
  • Algin is a hydrocolloid which has good water holding capacity derived from brown algae (Phaeophyceae).
