Agar Agar powder

Agar-agar is a high-purity plant-based gelling agent derived from natural seaweed. It is widely used in confectionery, baking, and modern gastronomy to create firm, elastic, and clear gels. It is an ideal choice for vegan, vegetarian, and functional preparations, as it offers strong gelling action without taste, aroma, or color.

The Ingredient We Use

We use 100% pure agar-agar in a fine white powder, free from additives. It is off-white in color with an extremely fine texture that dissolves uniformly in liquid and warm mixtures. Its gelling power is high and stable, perfect for professional preparations.

Botanical & Technical Identity

Agar-agar is derived from red algae (families Gelidiaceae and Gracilariaceae). It is a natural polysaccharide with excellent heat resistance:

• Dissolves at temperatures of ~85–95°C
• Gels at temperatures of ~35–40°C

This makes it ideal for preparations that require stability at high temperatures, unlike animal gelatin.

Aroma, Color, and Taste

Agar-agar is odorless, colorless, and neutral in taste. It does not affect the color or aroma of the preparation, offering a clean, smooth, and stable texture.

Culinary Uses

Ideal for:

• Fruit jellies
• Panna cotta and creams
• Mousse and plant-based desserts
• Sauces and stocks that need stabilization
• Vegan sweets and functional preparations
• Laboratory and molecular gastronomy applications

How to Use
