24. There have been some earlier claims for the existence of liquid crystalline phases for both κ- and t-carrageenan (refs 25 and 26, respectively), but these claims were not supported by much experimental evidence (birefringence only), and the experimental conditions (salt type and concentration) were not specified. The observation of birefringence is not synonymous with the existence of a liquid crystalline phase, especially in viscous and gellike samples, where shear alignment can be preserved for a very long time.
