Abstract
The Philippines is one of the major producers of the red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii (also known as the cottonii type) which is a source of the semi-refined or Philippine natural grade (PNG) carrageenan. The shortage of locust bean gum (used in pet food) gave PNG a place in the world market in 1994. Europe’s acceptance of PNG as food additive was significant, increasing the number of buyers that already included the US, Japan, Latin America, other Asian countries and Canada.
