The chemical composition of the phycocollbids from two Senegalese red algae Anatheca montagnei and Meristotheca senegalensis (Soleriaceae) has been compared with the hybrid iota-kappa carrageenan from commercial Euchema spinosum.. A. partially desulfated major iota carrageenan was identified. The milk strengths of gels from the Senegalese species were similar to those from Euchema spinosum suggesting potential economical applications.
