Seaweed Chondracanthus canaliculatus and Furcellaria fastigiate, they are types of red sea weeds and red sea algae ,they are majorly used for carrageen production and extraction . Carrageen is a natural polysaccharide which can be derived from mainly from sea weeds of Rhodophyceae class. It is used as a strong viscous agent and jellying agents and for complete drug release, food industries , pharmaceuticals, cosmetics , agriculture and other industries. After having such useful applications still there are many demerits of carrageen and adverse effects on the human physiology ,so its modification is prepared for more accuracy and efficiency regarding results by combing their natural forms and semi synthetic forms. This information provides about different sources and properties of carrageenan on natural polymer-based carrageenan mixtures and ingredients and their applications in CDDS, injuries, healing of wounds(dressing) and tissue culturing this is possible because of their degrading and compatibility properties, in food industry as gelling and other types of agents. In cosmetics industries used as emulsifying and moisturising agents . ?-Carrageenan is normally withdrawn from algae "Kappaphycus alvarezii, while ?-carrageenan is produced from "Eucheuma denticulatum",. ?-Carrageenan is obtained from various types of sea weed like Gigartina radula and Chondrus crispus, etc. In Asian continents and nearby most of countries withdraw carrageen from algae and weeds like K. alvarezii and others, in other business as species of sacol and spinosum. In sea weeds, carrageen plays an important role as they contain 50% of their dry mass carrageen .The outcomes of carrageen basically depends upon various factors as methods, time of harvesting, extraction, distribution and handling. extraction methods applied like traditional-boiling, cellulase-assisted extraction and fungal treatment. In extraction process the enzymes used are economic, safe, and friendly to surrounding(environment). As in extraction most yield is cultivated from cellulase-assisted method(45%),next to this traditional-boiling method(37.5%) and least yield comes from fungal treatment method(25%). Commonly cellulase-assisted method and traditional-boiling method are most yield generating method they might be alternative to each other in some regions of countries. (Rhodophyceae, Carrageen, Gigartina radula ,suspending agents polysscharide).
