Irish Sea Moss Powder

Irish Sea Moss Powder - Pharmaceutical Grade Bulk Supply

Product Code: EMN-ISMP-001

Latin Name:Chondrus crispus

Origin: Atlantic Coast (Ireland/Canada)

Processing Location: California, USA

Product Overview

Whole Chandrus crispus from chilly Atlantic seas is used to make our Irish Sea Moss Powder. Mechanical cleaning, low-temperature drying, and micronization protect nutritional value.

Major Processing Steps:

1. Inspect raw materials for heavy metals and microorganisms.

2. Triple-wash system gets rid of sand and dirt.

3. Bioactivity is maintained by dehydration below 50°C.

4. Cryogenic milling offers 80-120 mesh homogeneity.

5. Packaging in drums with moisture barriers

This method reduces raw sea moss' irregularity while preserving its gelling and thickening carrageenan content.

Key Product Specifications

Certifications and Quality Standards

Technical Advantages for Manufacturing

Consistent Particle Distribution

Equal liquid dispersion is achieved using 80-120 mesh. All batches have D90 < 180μm particle size analysis by laser diffraction.

Increases powder blend homogeneity and reduces beverage settling.

Minimum Moisture

Desiccant packing keeps moisture below 2%.

Irish Sea Moss Powder effectively prevents clumping and increases shelf life without preservatives.

Hydration Prediction

Absorbing 80-100ml water, 1g powder becomes stable gel.

Reduces batch-to-batch fluctuation and simplifies formula scaling.

Clear Label

One-ingredient product without solvents, carriers, or anti-caking and

Practicality: Meets food and supplement clean label regulations.

FAQ

Q: How does powder differ from entire leaf?

A: Without soaking or combining, powder disperses immediately. Hydrating and manually processing whole leaf takes 12-24 hours.

Q: What is the gelling temperature?

A: Powder dissolves in cold water but thickens at 80-85°C and room temperature.

Q: Does it work with acidic formulations?

A: Below pH 4.5, carrageenan stability declines. Test matrix stability or use buffering agents.

Q: Can it replace synthetic thickeners?

A: Yes, numerous uses. Adjust to desired viscosity from 1:1. Our techies can help with conversion.

Q: What is the iodine content?

A: Usually 5-15 ppm, much below safety limits but sufficient for thyroid support medications (see local restrictions).
