Yes, it can be:
Agar is a gelatinous substance derived from red algae (red seaweed).
Historically and in a modern context, it is chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Asia and also in the past century has found extensive use as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work.
The gelling agent is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae (red seaweed).
Agar can be used as a laxative, a vegetarian Gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in jellies, ice cream and other desserts, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for paper sizing fabrics.
Chemically, agar is a polymer made up of subunits of the sugar galactose. Agar polysaccharides serve as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls.
Answer: There are many differerent gums you can use to make ice-cream, you can make it without! So it really depends on the brand. Agar can come from Gelidium amansil (it shows up as E406 in ice cream). Chondrus crispus is somtimes used for Carrageenan (listed as E407 in your ice cream) You can get them from other species too; though generally red seaweeds.
Seaweed is usd to produce agar a gelatinous substance. This compound is used in many confections including ice cream, jellies and in thickening soups. Mocrobiologists use it to make culture plates to grow microorganisms. Answer: There are many differerent gums you can use to make ice-cream, you can make it without!

Agar or carageen are both gelling agents (which is sometimes used as a stabiliser or emulsifier) derived from seaweed. Carageen is sometimes used in lower end of the market class of ice-creams, which primarily use dried milk powders in production - the lack of fat in the mixture means that emulsifiers need to be used to provide the "rich mouthfeel". Carageen makes the mixture taste richer by suspending fat particules more evenly. Also, it can be used to make soft-scoop ice-cream - carageen inhibits freezing. Agar is not generally used in ice-cream production (it is used primarily as a gelling agent), but it is derived from seaweed. Although agar and carageen are derived from seaweed, it's not quite the same as saying "there is seaweed in ice-cream", since most of the other constituents of seaweed have been discarded in the production of carageen/agar.
Ice cream generally does not have seaweed in it. You can see on the ingredients list. That said, there may be seaweed flavored ice creams available.
To make it gel. It's like ising glass.
Yes
Some ice cream does contain seaweed.
A type of brown seaweed, moderate in size.
to thicken it
yes!!!
Ice cream is not actually made with seaweed as an ingredient. What's inside the ice cream is a gum extracted from the seaweed, called carrageenan, named after the place in Ireland where the seaweed is collected. Gums, such as those used in sealing tape and candies, come from all types of plants. They are sugars bonded together in very long strands like a necklace. Since seaweed lives in the sea, the gum made from it loves water. This is why it is used in ice cream. The gum, even in small amounts, ties up the water in the ice cream, making it thick and smooth instead of thin and runny. It also keeps the water from forming ice when it sits in your freezer. If you look on the ice cream package label, you should see the name carrageenan. Only a half-teaspoon is used in the entire half gallon of ice cream.
Carrageenan is an extract from seaweed that is often used to thicken ice cream. If it is in the ice cream, it will be listed in the ingredients. You won't be able to taste it. Algin is an extract made from seaweed. it is called algin which is found in the cell walls and it is a brown algae and also has a gelatin like properties. it also thickens marshmellows as well.
it can be used in ice cream to heal your lose tooth or tonsils or anything like that.
Seaweed
A seaweed extract called Carrageenan is used to help thicken ice cream. Agar is also a product from seaweed that is also used as a thickening agent.
Carrageenan is derived from red seaweed. It is used as a thickener in cooking.
Carageenan is a seaweed that is used as a thickener in many food products, including ice cream.
yes it is True
