Agar Agar Food Grade Strips

A food‑grade agar-agar supplied as strips — a high-performance, plant-derived gelling agent widely used as a 100% vegetarian alternative to animal gelatin. Extracted from red algae, this agar produces clear, colourless, odourless gels and functions as a stabilizer, thickener, emulsifier and coagulator across a broad range of food applications.

Key properties

• Produces firm, transparent gels without requiring other colloids
• Gelation temperature: 34°C to 42°C
• Melting temperature: 80°C to 98°C
• Neutral taste and aroma, suitable for clean-label formulations

Typical applications

• Confectionery: gummies, marshmallows, caramels and gelatinous sweets
• Dairy and frozen desserts: yoghurts, ice creams, mousses, custards and chocolate milks
• Sauces, fillings and thermally processed preparations requiring heat-stable gels
• Industrial food production where vegan/vegetarian or clean-label gelling is required

Benefits for manufacturers

• Enables vegetarian/vegan product positioning and allergen-free labeling
• Reliable performance in clear, stable gels that withstand higher temperatures than many animal gelatin systems
• Versatile functional roles: gelling, thickening, stabilizing and emulsifying

Handling and quality

• Supplied in strip form for ease of dosing and handling
• Store in a cool, dry place in sealed packaging to preserve functionality
• Available for bulk food-industry supply; COA and technical specifications can be requested for formulation and regulatory compliance

For formulators and procurement teams, this food‑grade agar-agar strip offers a scalable, label‑friendly gelling solution for a wide range of industrial food products.
