Marine hydrocolloids, such as carrageenan extracted from seaweeds, are widely used in food, industrial, and commercial applications. The Philippines has great potential to export carrageenan, but the industry requires strict quality regulations for the product. The specifications for raw dried seaweeds (RDS), including chemical and gel rheological properties, of Eucheuma denticulatumMilyon milyon” and Kappaphycus striatumSacol”, collected from Caluya, Antique, Philippines, were investigated and compared to the national standards used by the carrageenan production industry. The RDS (moisture, ash, clean anhydrous weed, impurities) of E. denticulatum and K. striatum were within the limits of the Philippine National Standards. The chemical properties (moisture, ash, acid-insoluble ash, and sulfate content) of carrageenan extracted from E. denticulatum were within the standards, except for the acid-insoluble ash and sulfate content of K. striatum, which exceeded the limit. On the other hand, the rheological properties of carrageenan, including gel viscosity, gelling and melting temperatures, and hysteresis, were also within the standard limits. The study suggests using RDS from E. denticulatum to produce carrageenan, as it complies with the Philippine National Standards utilized by the seaweed industry.
