Manufacturing

Agar is a natural polysaccharide colloid made mainly from seaweed (commonly red algae such as gelidium amansii and nori) through processes including extraction, filtration, freezing and drying. As a safe, natural and non-toxic gelling agent and thickener, AGAR has extremely high application value in the global food industry, microbial culture, biotechnology and daily chemical industry.

Main Applications of Agar

1. Food Industry

Coagulant & Jelly Stabilizer: Widely used in jellies, puddings, milk jellies, desserts, etc., providing a clear gel structure.

Thickener: Used in beverages, canned goods, and meat products to make the texture smoother.

Suspension Agent: Used for suspending beverage particles and stabilizing fruit juices.

Bread & Baking: Used for moisturizing and prolonging the softness of food.

2. Microbial Culture

 

Agar is the standard solidifying agent for laboratory culture media worldwide. It has high thermal stability, excellent transparency, and is not utilized by most microorganisms, making it an ideal substrate for microbial culture.

3. Biomedical Field

Used in products such as capsules, pharmaceutical gels, and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Used in biochemical experiments for electrophoretic separation and system stabilization.

4. Daily Chemical Industry

Used in facial masks, shampoos, and gel cosmetics for thickening, film formation, and texture maintenance.

5. Plant Tissue Culture

Acts as a coagulant in plant culture media, providing a good supporting structure.

Product Characteristics of Agar

1. High Gel Strength

High gel strength, commonly available in grades of 100–1200 g/cm², meeting the needs of various applications such as jellies, culture media, and shape-preserving foods.

2. Good Thermal Reversibility

High melting point and low freezing point, suitable for various processing environments, exhibiting strong stability in use.

3. High Transparency

At high purity, the gel is crystal clear, suitable for high-end food and laboratory applications.

4. Chemically Stable and Naturally Safe

Free of animal ingredients, unaffected by microbial decomposition, it is a natural plant-based gum, aligning with the global trend towards "Clean Label" additive-free products.

5. Stable Gel Formation with Low Dosage

Typically, only 0.8–1.5% is needed to form a relatively hard gel, offering good economic efficiency.
