Agar Agar

1. General information.

Agar-agar is a hydrocolloid obtained by extraction from a certain type of algae Gracilaria converfoides.

This Agar -agar is a polysaccharide, predominantly consisting of esters of calcium sulfates, sodium galactose and 3.6 copolymers of anhydrogalactose.

2. Specification.

7,0-9,0

Total heavy metals, less

20 g / kg

3 . Other characteristics.

Powder color - from white to cream.

Agar-agar does not dissolve in cold water. For its complete dissolution, it is necessary to cook for 10 minutes at 100 ° C.

An aqueous solution of Agar-agar forms a jelly when cooled to about 40 ° C. The melting temperature of water-based jelly with use is in the range of 80-90 ° C.

4 . Benefits of using.

Agar-agar is highly acid-resistant and economical:

1. jelly strength indicator Agar-agar - more than 2800 g / cm 2 according to Valent;

2. drop in strength of agar jelly with the introduction of acid is not more than 15%

3. a high level of synergy Agar-Agar in sugar-containing solutions leads to the formation of high-strength jellies.

5. Bookmark rate (approximate consumption per 1 ton of finished product)
