Iota carrageenan binds water to form dry, elastic gels in the presence of calcium salts. Ca2+ establish bonds between the carrageenan molecules to form helices. The negative charges associated with the 2-sulfate groups on the iota carrageenan molecules do not allow the helices to aggregate to the same extent as Kappa carrageenan.
