Agar powder is a plant-based gelling agent extracted from red seaweed. Bospres supplies agar powder from Indonesia to food manufacturers and importers, in several gel strengths for different applications.
Grades and gel strength
We supply Agar Powder GS700, GS800, GS900 and GS1000. The number is the gel strength, and a higher number gives a firmer gel. We measure gel strength by the GS Japan method (1.5% gel at 20 °C), so results are comparable between lots and suppliers.
Typical applications
Agar powder is used for desserts, confectionery and other general food and non-food applications. Tell us your application and target gel strength and we will recommend a grade.
