Active Ingredients 26 Science

Agar-Agar mainly consists of polysaccharides, primarily agarose and agaropectin, extracted from red algae. This fibrous substance dissolves easily in hot water and forms a firm gel when cooled. Agar-Agar is water-soluble and has good gelling ability even in small amounts, making it an effective thickening agent. Being of vegetable origin, it is well suited for those seeking gelatin-free alternatives.

Benefits 26 Uses

  • Suitable for creating firm gels in desserts, jams and other cold dishes.
  • Perfect for vegetarians and vegans wishing to avoid animal gelatin.
  • Useful in cooking to provide structure to soups, sauces and vegetarian dishes.
  • Well suited for allergy sufferers as the product is free from gluten, lactose and preservatives.
  • Easy to dose and handle, making it a convenient choice for both hobby cooks and professionals.

This product is a practical kitchen tool for those who want to experiment with textures and create both traditional and innovative recipes.

Usage 26 Dosage

To achieve the desired consistency, it is recommended to use approximately 1 to 2 grams of agar-agar per 100 ml of liquid. The powder is dissolved in hot liquid while stirring, and the mixture is then allowed to cool and set. Agar-Agar can be used in both hot and cold dishes and works best when given time to gel in the refrigerator. The product can advantageously be combined with other natural ingredients and flavourings to create exciting variations. For optimal use, follow the recipe instructions and adjust the amount of agar-agar according to the desired firmness.

Quality 26 Manufacturing

Smakosz is committed to delivering products with high purity and natural origin.
