An alternative or archaic spelling of carrageenin, a substance derived from carragheen seaweed.
A variant combining the alternate spelling 'carragheen' with the chemical suffix '-in', creating a doubled anglicization of the Irish original.
Carragheenin represents the confusion of Victorian-era chemistry—the same substance had multiple names depending on which country's scientists named it, which is why old recipes can be confusing to follow.
