As a Natural, Vegan-friendly Ingredient, Agar Agar is More and More Popular
2023-05-16

Gelatin is a protein substance derived from collagen, which is found in the bones, connective tissues, and skin of animals. It has been used for centuries in various food and non-food applications, including as a gelling agent in desserts, as a coating for pills and capsules, and as a thickener in photographic emulsions.

However, in recent years, there has been a growing demand for alternative gelling agents due to concerns over the use of animal-derived products in food and cosmetics. This has led to the increased use of agar agar, a gelling agent derived from seaweed, as a plant-based alternative to gelatin.

Agar agar is a natural, vegan-friendly ingredient that is free from animal products and is also gluten-free. It has a neutral taste and odor, making it an ideal ingredient for use in a wide range of food and non-food applications.

In addition to its use as a gelling agent, agar agar has also been found to have a number of health benefits. It is high in fiber and can help regulate digestion, and it has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Overall, agar agar is a versatile and healthy alternative to gelatin that is becoming increasingly popular in the food and cosmetics industries. As consumers continue to seek out plant-based and natural ingredients, it is likely that the demand for agar agar will continue to grow in the coming years.
