| Abstract | Carrageenans are widely utilized in food industry because of their physical and functional properties. In the present study, carrageenan was extracted from red seaweed and it was tested for the possibility for making healthy and nutritious fish soup for human consumption. The spray dried carrageenan powder had a protein, ash content of 12.12%, 34.53% respectively. Fish soup powder was prepared with the addition of 5% carrageenan powder and their nutritional properties were evaluated. Fish soup powder contained corn flour was served as control. Results suggested that fish soup powder can be prepared with the supplementation of carrageenan at 5% level without affecting consistency and flavor characteristics of soup and thereby increase the nutritional value of healthy soup for human consumption. |
