A food smoother
I believe you are talking about carrageenan, which is a gel-like substance that comes from a species of red algae called Irish moss. It is used as a thickening agent, not necessarily to emulsify ice cream. It is also used in evaporated milk and some pharmaceutical agents as well. :-)
Cheetos typically use a type of carrageenan known as kappa-carrageenan, which helps to stabilize and thicken the cheese coating. The process involves extracting carrageenan from red seaweed, where it's treated with water and potassium ions to create a gel-like substance. This gel is then incorporated into the cheese flavoring during production, enhancing texture and mouthfeel. Finally, the Cheetos are extruded and baked or fried to achieve their final crunchy form.

Yes, chocolate milk has carrageenan, which is a substance extracted from red and purple seaweeds, consisting of a mixture of polysaccharides. It is used as a thickening or emulsifying agent in food products.
Yes, carrageenan is considered vegan as it is a plant-based ingredient derived from seaweed and commonly used as a thickening agent in food products.
Yes, carrageenan is generally considered vegan-friendly as it is a plant-based ingredient derived from seaweed and commonly used as a thickening agent in food products.
No, food starch and carrageenan are not the same. Food starch is a carbohydrate derived from sources like corn, wheat, or potatoes, used as a thickening agent. Carrageenan is a plant-based extract obtained from seaweed, used as a stabilizer or thickening agent in food products.
Yes, carrageenan is generally considered vegetarian-friendly as it is a plant-based ingredient derived from seaweed and is commonly used as a thickening agent in food products.
The substance from brown algae used to make ice cream smoother is called carrageenan. It is a natural thickening and gelling agent derived from the cell walls of certain red algae, particularly those in the genus Chondrus. Carrageenan helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of ice cream, preventing the formation of ice crystals and enhancing creaminess.

There is no official statement from the FDA on carrageenan. However, many people have bad reactions to it when it is consumed. It is extracted from red seaweed. Living-Deliberately.com states that it is not natural due to powerful alkali solvents being used to extract it from the seaweed. Still not sure about it? Consider this - carrageenan is used to de-ice frozen airplanes sitting on tarmacs during winter storms.
Carrageenan is a food additive derived from seaweed that is used as a thickening agent in many processed foods. Some studies suggest that carrageenan may cause inflammation and digestive issues in some people, but more research is needed to fully understand its impact on human health.
