Food Grade Agar 99% Powder 1000 Gel - Premium Agar Powder for Food and Biotech Uses

Product Features
High purity: purity is as high as 99%, and the impurity content is extremely low, which ensures the stability and reliability of the product in various applications and can provide high-quality raw materials for the food and biotechnology fields.

High gel strength: with a gel strength of 1000, the gel structure formed is firm and stable. It can withstand a certain pressure in food without breaking and maintain a good shape; in biotechnology experiments, it can provide a stable support environment for microbial growth or biomolecule separation.

Food grade safety: strictly follow the relevant standards and specifications of food production, and pass various authoritative food safety tests. It can be used in food processing with confidence, meeting consumers' requirements for food safety.

Powdered and easy to use: It is a fine white powder, easy to disperse and dissolve in hot water, convenient to mix evenly with other raw materials during food processing, and also convenient for accurate weighing and addition in biotechnology experiments.

Product advantages
Food field:
Excellent gelling performance: It is an ideal gelling agent for making jelly, soft candy, ice cream and other foods. It can make jelly have good elasticity and transparency, soft candy have a chewy texture and not easy to deform, ice cream has a fine texture, reduce ice crystal formation, and improve heat resistance.

Good thickening effect: As a thickener in canned foods such as eight-treasure porridge, white fungus and bird's nest soup, it can make the contents evenly distributed, prevent precipitation and stratification, and improve the taste.

 Adding a small amount of agar powder to beverages can make suspended matter such as fruit particles evenly dispersed, prolong the suspension time, and maintain the appearance and taste of the product.

Wide range of applications: It can be used for the processing of various candies, cakes, dairy products, meat products and other foods, which can not only improve the quality and taste of the products, but also increase the stability and shelf life of the food.

Biotechnology field:
Microbial culture: It is a commonly used solidifying agent for microbial culture medium, which can provide a stable growth surface for microorganisms, so that microorganisms can form clear colonies on its surface, which is convenient for observation and research.

Biomolecule separation: In experiments such as gel electrophoresis, as the main component of gel, it can separate and analyze biomolecules according to characteristics such as molecular size and charge, and is an indispensable material in biotechnology research.

Cell culture: Provides cells with a three-dimensional growth environment similar to that in vivo, which helps cells attach, grow and differentiate. It has important applications in cell biology research and biopharmaceuticals.

Precautions
Dissolution conditions: Insoluble in cold water. When using, it needs to be slowly added to boiling water and stirred continuously to ensure full dissolution. Avoid adding agar powder directly to cold water, otherwise it is easy to form lumps and difficult to dissolve.

Dosage control: In food and biotechnology applications, the amount of agar powder should be accurately controlled according to the specific formula and experimental requirements.

Excessive use may cause the gel to be too hard or the product texture to be too thick, affecting the taste or experimental results; too little use may not achieve the expected gel strength or effect.

Storage conditions: It should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place to avoid moisture and high temperature. Improper storage may cause agar powder to absorb moisture and agglomerate, affecting its solubility and gel properties.

Compatibility with other substances: In food processing, pay attention to the compatibility of agar powder with other food additives, seasonings, etc. to avoid interactions that affect product quality. In biotechnology experiments, compatibility with culture medium components, biological samples, etc. should also be considered, and preliminary experiments should be carried out when necessary.

Use&Manufacturing:

Substitute for gelatin, isinglass, etc. in making emulsions including photographic, gels in cosmetics, and as thickening agent in foods especially.

Confectionaries and dairy products; in meat canning; in production of medicinal encapsulations and ointments; as dental impression mold base; as corrosion inhibitor; sizing for silks and paper; in the dyeing and printing of fabrics and textiles; in adhesives. In nutrient media for bacterial cultures.

Agar is a gum obtained from red seaweeds of the genera gelidium, gracilaria, and eucheuma, class rhodophyceae. it is a mixture of the polysaccharides agarose and agaropectin. it is insoluble in cold water, slowly soluble in hot water, and soluble in boiling water, forming a gel upon cooling. the gels are characterized as being tough and brittle, setting at 32-40°c, and melting at 95°c. a rigid, tough gel can be formed at 0.5%.

Agar mainly functions in gel for- mation because of its range between melting and setting tempera- tures, being used in piping gels, glazes, icings, dental impression material, and microbiological plating. typical use levels are 0.1-2.0%.
