Agar Agar is a natural polysaccharide obtained from red seaweed and has been used in a wide range of industries. When the red seaweeds are heated to melting condition, and after cooling it down, the seaweed extract is Agar Agar.
Agar Agar has several advantages over traditional gelatin, including its ability to gel at low temperatures and its stability in acidic environments. This makes it an ideal ingredient for creating a variety of foods, including desserts, jams, jellies, and even savory dishes. Additionally, it does not have any flavor of its own, allowing it to be used in a wide range of recipes without impacting the dish's overall taste.
Agar Agar contains rich dietary fiber (80.9%) with high protein and low calories. It has the function of controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, anti-cancer, promoting health and beauty. It is a natural food additive, commonly used in food as a vegetarian substitute for gelatin and is also used in microbiology as a growth medium for bacteria and fungi.
In addition to its uses in the food industry, Agar Agar also has applications in other areas, such as in medicine and cosmetics
