? Detailed Introduction of Agar Agar
Agar Agar is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from red seaweed (Gracilaria or Gelidium species), commonly used as a gelling, stabilizing, and thickening agent. It is classified as E406 in food applications and is widely recognized for its strong gel formation, heat resistance, and high stability. Unlike gelatin, Agar Agar is completely plant-based, making it suitable for vegetarian and vegan products.
Raw Materials:
Red seaweed (Gracilaria, Gelidium, or Pterocladia species)
Purified water & filtration agents
Production Process:
Seaweed Harvesting & Cleaning – The seaweed is collected, washed, and dried.
Boiling & Extraction – The cleaned seaweed is boiled in water to extract the agar content.
Filtration & Cooling – The extract is filtered and cooled to form a gel.
Dehydration & Drying – The gel is dried and ground into powder or strips.
Confectionery & Desserts – Used in jellies, puddings, candies, and marshmallows for firm texture.
Dairy & Vegan Products – A key stabilizer in ice cream, yogurt, cheese, and plant-based dairy alternatives.
Bakery & Pastry – Helps in moisture retention and texture enhancement in cakes and fillings.
Beverages – Used in bubble tea, fruit juice, and beverage stabilization.
Microbiological Culture Media – Essential for bacteria and fungi growth in labs.
Capsules & Coatings – Used in pharmaceutical formulations for tablet coatings.
Pet Food – A stabilizer in wet pet food.
Cosmetics & Skincare – Acts as a moisturizer and thickener in lotions, face masks, and creams.
✅ Superior Gel Strength – Forms firm, thermally stable gels without refrigeration.
✅ Vegan & Plant-Based – 100% natural gelatin substitute for vegetarian diets.
✅ Excellent Water Absorption – Helps in moisture retention in food formulations.
✅ Heat Resistance – Maintains stability at high temperatures.
✅ Safe & Approved – Classified as E406 and widely approved for food and pharmaceutical applications.
