“…Carrageenan has been traditionally used as food additives in the form of thickening, stabilising, and emulsifying agents, while its other applications include cosmetics, agriculture, superabsorbent materials, energy storage, water remediation, and electrochemical applications [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. Since the packaging industry is one of the major contributors to pollution due to the extensive use of plastics, researchers have successfully developed green alternatives to plastics, among which carrageenan has been found to be a suitable replacement material [ 16 , 17 ]. As this polysaccharide also has certain innate biomedical properties such as antiviral, antitumor, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, etc., it has also been proven to be a potential candidate for applications such as wound healing, drug delivery, and so on [ 18 , 19 ].…”
