Agar Agar

Agar Agar Products
Agar, also known as "agar-agar," is a natural polysaccharide gelling agent extracted from? red algae? (such as? Gelidium? and?Gracilaria? species). It is primarily composed of?agarose? and? agaropectin, known for its unique gelling properties.

A range of specialty products for a variety of food and industrial purpose

Characteristics

CAGARG™  INST
Instant Soluble  Agar

CAGARG™  INST is a physically modified form of traditional agar, designed for enhanced solubility and convenience. Unlike conventional agar that requires boiling to dissolve, Instant Agar is processed (often through methods like spray-drying) to disperse and hydrate rapidly in cold or lukewarm water, forming smooth gels or increasing viscosity without the need for heat.

Valuable in industrial food applications where heat-sensitive ingredients are involved or energy-saving, cold-process manufacturing is desired. Common uses include the production of no-bake dessert gels, fruit preparations for yogurt, cake glazes, instant puddings, and as a texturizer in vegetarian food products where a heat-free setting process is an advantage.

CAGARG™ CB
For Candy and Bakery

CAGARG™ CB is a complete range of tailored food grade agar agar powders especially developed to be used in all different confectionery and bakery applications.

Medium to very high gel strength (600-1000+gr/cm2–Nikkan), forming firm or elastic gels with a rapid setting time, low synaeresis gels.

CAGARG™ MK
For Dairy and Yogurt

CAGARG™ MK is a complete range of tailored food grade agar agar powders especially developed to be used in yogurt and diary productions.

Low to medium gel strength, high dissolution rate (80 °C, Pasteurization temperature)

CAGARG™ SP
Spreadable jams, Glazing

CAGARG™ SP is a complete range of tailored food grade agar agar powders specially developed to be used in spreadable jams, marmalades, glazing and piping gel.

Low to ultra-low gel strength, low viscosity and good transparency.

CAGARG™ HT
For strong thermal process

CAGARG™ HT  We offer different food grade agar agar powders specifically developed to be used in all the applications where products need to be sterilized or undergo a strong thermal process

High stability and high gel strength after sterilization, high thermal resistance suitable for canned/sterilized products

CAGARG™ PTC
For plant tissue culture

CAGARG™ PTC is a next-generation, highly refined gelling agent specifically engineered for the demanding requirements of modern plant tissue culture.

Through a proprietary purification process, we have optimized the natural polymer structure of agar to deliver unparalleled clarity, consistency, and performance in all major culture media.

BacterAgar™ BG Agar Agar
For Microbiological Medium

BacterAgar™ Bacteriological agar agar series are the gelling agents used in the preparation of culture media and other bacteriological applications.

Its main advantage is the absence of inhibitors which could hinder optimal development of microorganisms. In addition, bacteriological agar also possesses other attribute such as transparency, high hysteresis and very reliable reproducibility.
