What is Agar Agar Made of ?

Where is agar agar obtained from?

It is a family of linear galactan polysaccharides obtained from the cellular walls of red seaweeds, Gelidium and Gracilaria are the main species utilised for commercial agar production.

Gelidium species were the original materials used in Japan, but shortages in World War II led to the discovery that Gracilaria species were suitable if the seaweed was treated with alkali during processing.

Agar Powder

Gracilaria (or Geldium) → Alkaline leaching → Washing → Bleaching → Boiling gel → Filtering → Pressing → Drying → Crushing → Finished product → Packaging.

Agar Applications - Uses of Agar

Agar Agar was the first hydrocolloid to be used in the human food industry. In the beginning, it was only used in the Far East, but the applications have been extending all over the world for more than a century.

In the human food industry, agar is used mainly as a gelling agent and in a secondary way as a stabilizing agent and for controlling viscosity. It is used as an additive, not as a nutrient. The gelling power of agar is so high that it is used at 1% maximum concentration; for viscosity control and as a stabilizing agent the proportion used is 1/100 or less. For this reason the ingested quantities are very small and, because agar is not easily digested by the human body, its calorie contribution is negligible and thus agar can be used in special diet food.

Agar applications in the food industry are based on its special characteristics and the most important applications are the following.

Agar jelly, Water dessert jellies, Confectionery, Bakery products, Dairy products, Fermented products, Canned meat and fish product, Soups and sauces, Fining agent, Health foods.

Agar in Microbiology

Its uses in microbiology are based on the special properties: a gelling temperature of 32-36°C, a melting temperature of 85-86°C, a lack of hydrolysis by bacterial exoenzymes and its ability to be prepared without bacterial inhibitors. The above temperatures refer to culture media gelled with agar and which contain 10-11 g agar per litre of culture media.

Agar in Biology

You may ask, Why is agar used to grow bacteria? The use of agar in bacteriology is one of the most important uses and requires strict physical-chemical control as well as the absence of hemolytic substances and what is more important and difficult, the absence of any bacterial inhibitors. Robert Koch started using agar in 1881 to gel culture broths when preparing solid culture media and this was the first introduction of this oriental product to Europe.

Agar in Pharmacy

The application of agar in pharmacy as a smooth laxative is well known. Lately it has been used as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations. In some Western countries agar is used as an antirheumatic since a prolonged treatment has permitted important improvements in patients' health. Agar has been used to stabilize cholesterol solutions.

We focus our main attention on various kinds of high quality Hydrocolloids and Stabilizing systems.
