Product Manufacturing Process
The production of agar involves the extraction from marine red algae such as the species Gelidium and Gracilaria. The seaweed is boiled for a few hours and the resulting extract is cooled to form a gel. It is then pressed and processed to remove water and impurities. The gel is dried and milled into various forms like powder, flakes, or strips. According to authoritative studies, such a process ensures the preservation of agar's unique gelling properties, important for its diverse applications in China and worldwide.
Product Application Scenarios
Agar thickening agents are indispensable in various fields. In culinary arts, they are utilized in creating desserts and modern gastronomy, like jelly candies and molecular cuisine. Scientifically, agar is fundamental in microbiology labs for cultivating bacterial cultures due to its ability to form stable gels. The industrial sector in China uses agar for textiles, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals as an emulsifier and stabilizer. Authoritative papers cite its versatility and plant-based origin as primary reasons for its wide application scope.
