Description:

Agar is a kind of polysaccharide extracted from natural seaweed. Instant agar is technologically improved based on conventional agar and named SA10. Compared to the conventional agar, SA10 has excellent gel performance and suspension characteristics especially at low temperature, so it can be widely used in yogurt and jelly .

 Advantages:

1.  It is extracted from the marine plants, safe and healthy.

2.   It can be quickly soluble at 50~55°C as well as dispersible without sticking together.

3.  It is convenient to use with energy conservation.

4.  Foods with SA10 have high transparency, and help the flavor more smooth and delicate.

5.  It can improve product stability system to prolong the shelf life.

Application:

Yogurt; Dairy beverage

Jelly; Fillings

Ice cream; Cottage cheese
