Basic Information and Parameters

Our High Quality Agar-Agar Powder with CAS number 9002 - 18 - 0 is a premium product in the market. Agar - agar is a polysaccharide obtained from red algae. It is a white to yellowish - brown powder with a characteristic odor. This powder has high gelling ability, which makes it an excellent thickening and stabilizing agent.

The powder has a high solubility in hot water, and forms a firm gel upon cooling. Its melting point is around 85 - 95°C, and the gelling point is between 32 - 42°C. These properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications. The purity of our agar - agar powder is carefully controlled to ensure the best quality, and it meets international food safety standards.

Uses of the Product

1. Food Industry: It is widely used in the food industry. In confectionery, it can be used to make jelly, marshmallows, and gummy candies. In dairy products, it helps in preventing the separation of milk and cream, and gives a smooth texture to yogurt and ice cream. In bakery products, it can act as a moisture - retainer, keeping the bread and cakes fresh for a longer time.
2. Microbiological Applications: Agar - agar is a fundamental component in microbiology laboratories. It is used as a solidifying agent in culture media, providing a stable surface for the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry: It can be used as a bulk - forming laxative. It also has applications in the formulation of some drugs due to its gelling and thickening properties.

How to Use the Product

1. For Food Applications: First, measure the appropriate amount of agar - agar powder according to the recipe. Generally, for making a firm jelly, use about 1 - 2% agar - agar powder based on the total weight of the liquid. Dissolve the powder in hot water or other liquid ingredients. Stir continuously to ensure complete dissolution. Heat the mixture until it boils, then let it simmer for a few minutes to fully activate the gelling properties. Pour the mixture into molds or containers and let it cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it sets.
2. In Microbiological Labs: Prepare the culture media ingredients as required. Add the agar - agar powder to the liquid media. Heat the mixture to dissolve the powder completely, usually by autoclaving at 121°C for 15 - 20 minutes. Pour the sterilized media into Petri dishes under aseptic conditions and let it solidify.

Detailed Usage Cases

1. Making Fruit Jelly:

• Ingredients: 5 grams of agar - agar powder, 500 ml of fruit juice (such as orange, strawberry), 50 grams of sugar (adjust according to taste).
• Steps: Dissolve the agar - agar powder in a small amount of cold water first to prevent clumping. Then, add it to the fruit juice in a saucepan. Add sugar and stir well. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the agar - agar powder is completely dissolved and the sugar is melted. Boil the mixture for 2 - 3 minutes. Pour the hot mixture into individual jelly molds. Let it cool at room temperature for a while, then refrigerate until set. After a few hours, the delicious fruit jelly is ready to serve.

2. Bacterial Culture:

• Ingredients: 15 grams of agar - agar powder, 1 liter of nutrient broth (contains essential nutrients for bacteria).
• Steps: Add the agar - agar powder to the nutrient broth in a flask. Mix well and heat the flask in an autoclave at 121°C for 15 - 20 minutes to sterilize and dissolve the agar - agar. After autoclaving, let the flask cool slightly. Under a laminar flow hood, pour the warm media into sterile Petri dishes. Once the media has solidified, inoculate the bacteria onto the surface of the agar using a sterile loop. Incubate the Petri dishes at the appropriate temperature for the bacteria to grow.
