Carrageenan: several kinds of red algae sometimes called Irish moss is used in ice cream. The brown algae is alginate (kelp) it was used in some ice cream but is not common now as it is somewhat dificult to process. It makes realy good ice cream though. Both of these serve to make the ice cream thicker and to reduce the size of the ice crystals in ice cream. Raw seaweed is not used in ice cream as it would taste odd. The seaweed is washed and heated and the material is removed by precipitating it with alcahol. The end product is a light tan powder that is cloudy to clear when mixed with water.
