Agar (/ ˈ eɪ ɡ ɑːr / or / ˈ ɑː ɡ ər /), or agar-agar, is a jelly-like substance consisting of polysaccharides obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from "ogonori" and "tengusa".

2025年1月10日 · Best known as a solidifying component of bacteriological culture media, it is also used in canning meat, fish, and poultry; in cosmetics, medicines, and dentistry; as a clarifying agent in brewing and wine making; as a thickening agent in ice cream, pastries, desserts, and salad dressings; and as a wire-drawing lubricant.

Agar is a phycocolloid extracted from a group of red-purple marine algae (Class Rhodophyceae) including Gelidium, Pterocladia and Gracilaria. Gelidium is the preferred source for agars. Impurities, debris, minerals and pigment are reduced to specified levels during manufacture.

2024年10月23日 · Agar is a gelatinous substance derived from red algae, primarily from species such as Gelidium and Gracilaria. It’s commonly used as a hydrocolloid in the food industry, but its role in microbiology is what truly makes it special.
