In this research, the influence of different solvents (1.0 M KOH and 1.0 M NaOH) and different drying methods (freeze dryer and oven) towards the chemical and physical properties of refined carrageenan by using kappaphycus alvarezii collected from Semporna, Sabah were determined. The physical charac...
