PRODUCT USAGE

It has physical and chemical properties such as coagulation, stability, and the ability to form complexes with some substances. It can be used as a thickener, coagulant, suspending agent, emulsifier, preservative and stabilizer. It is widely used in making orange juice and various beverages, jellies, ice cream, cakes, soft candies, canned foods, meat products, eight-treasure porridge, Tremella bird's nest, soup foods, cold foods, etc.

Agar can be used as a culture medium, ointment base and other purposes in the chemical industry and medical research.

At the same time, when conducting biological experiments, in the process of making microbial culture media, liquid culture media can be converted into solid culture media or semi-solid culture media by adding agar as a coagulant. (Compared with liquid culture media, the advantages of solid culture media with agar added are simple operation, easy to solve ventilation problems, and convenient for frequent observation and research.)
