Agar Agar, also known as Japanese gelatine, is mainly known in Asia. There it is highly appreciated for its high gelling capacity. Since half a teaspoon of agar agar corresponds to about four sheets of gelatine, it is a lot more productive.
Historical background:
Agar Agar is obtained from certain red sea algae that grow mainly off the coast of Japan and have long been used for cooking in this country. Once, it is said, a Japanese woman threw food leftovers outside, which thawed after freezing in the cold night and during the day in the warm sun. A delicate jelly had formed.
Use:
Agar Agar is insoluble in cold water. Only at temperatures above 80° C is complete solution obtained. When it cools down, a gel forms. Agar Agar belongs to the polysaccharides with the strongest gel formation capacity (limit concentration around 0.5%). The temperature at which gel formation occurs (35-39°C) is far below the melting temperature of the gel (80-90°C), which distinguishes it significantly from all other gel-forming polyaccarides.
