Our Agar Agar is premium quality refined powder, grade 1 purification. Agar Agar is a flexible vegetarian gelling and thickening agent. Mainly used a superior vegetarian alternative to gelatine. Our Agar Agar provides odourless, colourless superior quality gels even at very low concentrations. It may be used to produce hard, brittle, transparent and neutral gels that resists acidic pH down to 3.5. Agar Agar gels melt in the mouth giving excellent flavour release. Agar Agar becomes soluble at about 90-100°C and sets on cooling of the solution at around 40 – 45°C. Agar Agar gels may then be reheated upto 85ºC without any melting. Thanks to this property, agar is invaluable for modifying the structure of hot creams and mousse. Produce heat resistant gels and jellies that can face up to temperatures of 85ºC . Produce strong, rigid gels that may be sliced. Use in a whipper gun to make light heat stable mouses. Use to make stronger Jams & Custards texture Add to fruit juice to produce heat stable purées. Create fluid gels for sauces. Use to thicken liquids. Add to water based icings to keep away from the needs for refrigeration How to use: The dosage rates of Agar Agar are between 2-10g per 1kg of solution. To make a firm jelly / gel you’ll require approximately 7-10g. Soak the Agar Agar in the liquid solution for 5-10 minutes, then gently bring to the boil stirring constantly until the entire Agar Agar is disolved, heat the solution to 100ºC. The solution will then set upon cooling around 40 – 45°C. The gelling abilities of Agar Agar are affected by the acidity or alkalinity of the ingredients. Acidic fruits require greater amounts of Agar Agar. The Ph Solubility of Agar Agar is: 4.5 – 9.0 If in case you have not used enough Agar Agar the solution can also be boiled and more Agar Agar added to get the texture you require.
