Product Introduction

Product Description

Agar-agar is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red algae. It dissolves in hot water and forms a firm gel after cooling. In food systems, it works as both a thickener and stabilizer, helping products maintain their shape, texture, and uniform appearance.

Due to its simple use and strong gelling ability, agar-agar is widely accepted in food manufacturing and is suitable for vegetarian and plant-based food formulations.
