Applications :
1. Food industry
agar-agar is an indispensable material to improve texture and appearance of various food products
it can be used in the manufacture of candy, soft sweets, bakery, canned meat, cold dish, fruit jelly etc.
The use of agar-agar in foods is based on its inherent properties:
1, high gelling capacity
2, wide ph working range
3, resistance to heat treatment
4, large hysteresis (difference between melting and gelling points)
5, no effect on flavour
6, reversible gels
7, gel stability
2. Microbiology
cultivate-base for micro organism nutrient agar is used throughout the world to provide a solid surface containing medium for the growth of bacteria and fungi. Agar is typically sold commercially as a powder that can be mixed with water and prepared similarly to gelatin before use as a growth medium. The basic agar formula can be used to grow most of the microbes whose needs are known. More specific nutrient agars are available, because some microbes prefer certain environmental conditions over others.
