Marcel Carrageenan has always been a reliable partner of the petfood industry for many years now. Be it pure carrageenan or customized blends, Marcel's carrageenan forms a vital component of many petfood products all over the world. Carrageenan's main function is to provide stable form and homogeneous appearance to various petfood systems such as chunks-in-loaf (CIL), chunks-in-jelly (CIJ) and chunks in-gravy (CIG). 

 

Aquagel PF, a natural petfood binder, is one of Marcel's carrageenan-based products used to stabilize canned petfood products. They form stable gels even after retorting which helps in providing body and form to the finished product.
