International audience; 23Na NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the effects of Na+ ion concentrations on the structure of 1% (w/w) iota-carrageenan systems, a natural gelling polysaccharide used as a thickener in the food industry. Rheological and 23Na T1 relaxation time measurements revealed that gel formation correlates with decreases in ion mobility over the range of 0-3% (w/w) sodium content. 23Na single-quantum (SQ) and double-quantum-filtered (DQF) NMR experiments performed on these systems provided evidence for a bound sodium ion fraction in a specifically ordered environment. These results have allowed us to propose a model for the carrageenan gelation mechanism in the presence of Na+ ions.
