This information isn’t intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Agar or agar-agar is a gelatinous substance derived from a polysaccharide that accumulates within the cell walls of agarophyte red algae. Historically and in a up to date context, agar is chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts all over Asia and also as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work. The gelling agent is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of a few species of red algae, primarily from the genera Gelidium and Gracilaria, or seaweed (Sphaerococcus euchema). Commercially It’s derived primarily from Gelidium amansii. Agar (agar-agar) can be utilized as a laxative, an appetite suppressant / diet & weight loss aid, a vegetarian gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in jellies, ice cream and other desserts, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for sizing paper and fabrics. The word “agar” comes from agar-agar, the Malay name for the algae (Gigartina, Gracilaria) from which the jelly is produced. It’s often referred to as kanten, China grass, or Japanese isinglass. The more than a few species of alga or seaweed from which agar is derived are also known as Ceylon moss or Jaffna moss.
