Agar is a polysaccharide extracted from seaweed and is one of the most widely used seaweed gums in the world. It has a wide range of applications in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemical industry, bioengineering and many other aspects, agar used in food can significantly change the quality of food, improve the grade of food. The price is very high.
Its characteristics: coagulation, stability, and some substances can form complexes and other physicochemical properties, can be used as a thickener, coagulant, suspending agent, emulsifier, preservative and stabilizer. It is widely used in the manufacture of granular orange and various beverages, jelly, ice cream, pastry, fudge, canned food, meat products, eight treasures congee, silver ear bird's nest, soup food, cold food and so on. Agar can be used as culture medium, ointment base and other purposes in chemical industry and medical research.
Raw material: Gracilaria, seaweed, stone cauliflower role: agar has coagulation, stability, can be used as a thickener, coagulant, suspending agents, emulsifiers, stabilizers, preservatives, adhesives, and biological culture medium. Uses: Agar is widely used in the manufacture of granular drinks, rice wine drinks, fruit juice drinks, crystal fudge, suet, luncheon meat, ham sausage, jelly pudding, ice-cream, laminated cake, porridge, coleslaw and so on. Agar is used in daily chemical industry for toothpaste, shampoo, facial cleanser, cosmetics, solid fragrance agent and so on. It is also widely used in medical research.
Agar is a natural polymer polysaccharide substance which is refined and purified by scientific method, using high quality natural seaweeds such as stonewort, Gracilaria and purslane as raw materials. Containing a variety of elements, and has the function of clearing heat, appetizer and spleen.
Agar is hydrophilic colloid, divided into strip and powder, insoluble in cold water, soluble in hot water. Agar has a unique importance in industry, even if the concentration of agar is as low as 1%, it can still form a stable gel (gel), which is a necessary raw material for food industry, chemical industry and medical research.
How to use: Soak the agar powder in cold water for about 3-5 hours, then put it into a pot and add appropriate amount of water to boil until all dissolved.
Agar use
Food:
Used in fudge, ice-cream, jelly, ham, curry powder, luncheon meat, sausage, ketchup, coconut sauce, cheese, etc., agar weight is generally between 0.3-1.5%.
1, granular orange drink - agar as a suspending agent, the use of its concentration of 0.01-0.05%, can make the particles suspended uniformly.
2, fruit juice fudge - the use of agar is about 2.5%, and glucose liquid, sugar and other soft candy, its transparency and taste is far better than other soft candy.
3, canned meat, meat products - with 0.2-0.5% agar can be formed for the effective bonding of minced meat gel.
4, eight treasures porridge, silver ear bird's nest, soup food - with 0.3-0.5% agar as a thickener, stabilizer.
5, cold food - first wash the agar, let it expand with boiling water, fish up and add seasoning ingredients can be eaten.
6, frozen gel pudding - with 0.1-0.3% agar and refined galactomannan, can be made transparent strong elastic gel.
7, beer clarifier - agar as an auxiliary clarifier to accelerate and improve the clarification.
Medical:
Have the function of blood lipid, fat reduction, antidiarrheal, etc. It can be used as biological bacterial culture medium, medical clinic, enhance immunity, electrophoresis, hollow capsule, antidiarrheal medicine, tortoise jelly and other products.
1, microbial culture medium - agar for bacterial culture medium, whether in terms of hardness and water secretion, or the number of bacterial growth and the size of the colony morphology and so on have a fairly good effect.
2, ointment base, pill binder and pharmaceutical capsules - agar can be used as a non-oily ointment base, plays a role in extending the effectiveness of the drug.
Chemical industry:
It can be used as high-grade skin care cream, hair styling gel, hair milk, and film.
Construction:
With the advantages of high viscosity and long retention period, it can be used in all kinds of waterproof and leakage-proof coatings and high-grade latex paint.
