  APPLICATIONS: Agar Agar plays a special, important role in the industry. The concentration of Agar Agar can still form a quite stable gel even when the concentration falls to 1%. It is the necessary raw material of the food industry, chemical industry, and medical research. Agar Agar owns useful and specific characters: physical and chemical properties are concretion, stability, can form complexes together with other substances, can be used as a thickener, coagulator, suspension agent, emulsifier, antistaling agent, and stabilizer.
