Cottonii vs Gracilaria — and what kappa carrageenan is

Eucheuma cottonii

= Kappaphycus alvarezii · red seaweed
  • Feedstock for kappa-carrageenan — high gel strength, firm brittle gels.
  • Local names: cottonii, katoni, sacul (rumput laut).
  • Grown within ~20° of the Equator; Indo-Pacific / SE Asia concentration.
  • Indonesia + Philippines are the two dominant cottonii sources.
kappahigh gel strengthlow impurityrumput laut

Gracilaria

agar feedstock · a different trade
  • Source of agar, not kappa-carrageenan — different chemistry and use.
  • Different gel behaviour, different buyers and price references.
  • Often confused with cottonii in generic “sea moss” listings.
  • We trade cottonii (kappaphycus); ask us before assuming gracilaria.
agarkaragenan ≠ agargracilaria

Honest note: Kappa carrageenan is a food-grade thickening/gelling ingredient extracted from cottonii — used in dairy, plant-milk and processed food. It is a food ingredient, not a medicine; sea moss does not treat or cure any disease. Every spec (moisture, ash, foreign matter, heavy metals, carrageenan yield) is confirmed only by a batch COA.

Frequently asked

What is the 2026 price of Indonesian cottonii?
Indicative FOB as of 2026: raw dried USD 4–12/kg (salted 4–7, standard 6–9, clean low-moisture 9–12) and cleaned food-grade bulk USD 25–55/kg. It is a band, not a single number — it moves with harvest, moisture and grade, and a written quote confirms spec and MOQ.
Is Eucheuma cottonii the same as Kappaphycus alvarezii?
Yes. In the trade, Eucheuma cottonii and Kappaphycus alvarezii refer to the same red seaweed — the main feedstock for kappa carrageenan, valued for high gel strength. Gracilaria is a different species used for agar.
What is the MOQ and which documents come with it?
Typical flow: a 1 MT trial, then 20–100 MT contracts. Documents on request include a batch COA (moisture, ash, foreign matter, microbiology, heavy metals, carrageenan yield), Certificate of Origin, phytosanitary certificate, HACCP/ISO 22000 and Halal where required. Specs come only from the batch COA — we do not guarantee customs outcomes.
How many bales fit a container?
As a rule of thumb, ~350 bales of 100 kg ≈ one 40HC at roughly 20–25 MT. A 20ft holds about 15 MT and a 40ft about 23 MT. Exact loading depends on baling and moisture — confirmed per shipment.
Does sea moss cure illness?
No. Sea moss (cottonii) is a food ingredient, not a medicine. We make no claim that it treats, prevents or cures any disease. We supply it as a raw food/carrageenan feedstock with honest specs from a batch COA.
