Agar-agar is a hydrocolloid that forms a dense jelly when dissolved in water. It is a complex polysaccharide consisting of the polysaccharide garopectin and agarose. Used as a substitute for gelatin. This substance is of plant origin, not absorbed by the human body. It is obtained from brown and red algae by extraction.Technological stages of agar-agar production:
- Algae are washed, cleaned.
- They are treated with an alkaline solution.
- Extraction and filtration of polysaccharides is carried out.
- After hardening, the substance is pressed, dried and crushed.
2 types of products are produced:
- the highest may have a white or light yellow color, a grayish tint is possible -
- the first grade has a darker yellow or dark yellow color.
The agar-agar offered by our company in Kharkov has the form of transparent, odorless, shiny plates, having a length of up to 30 cm, a width of 0.5 cm. When immersed in cold water, they swell without dissolving in a short period of time; complete dissolution. After cooling, agar-agar dissolved in water becomes a strong, colorless jelly, odorless and tasteless. The gelling ability of agar-agar is much more powerful than gelatin: gelatinization occurs even when it is used in a ratio of 1 part of it - 200-300 parts of water!
