QSOL® SOFT Agar is extracted from marine seaweeds, it offers an outstading texture with spreadability and creaminess. QSOL® SOFT agar usage is very easy because of its rapid dissolution at 80ºC and no need of additional gelling aids to achieve a soft gel. It has an excellent synergy with sugar and other hydrocolloids. For some applications it can be a substitute of gelatin showing advantages over it (e.g. Lower dosage required and non -animal origin) which makes it ideal for vegan purposes. In other uses it shows some advantages over pectin requiring special conditions for gelation, like low pH, high brix and long time to set.
