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.

Gumix Locust Bean Gum is processed from the seeds of the locust bean tree known as Ceratonia silique, which is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean area. These seeds, or kernels, are the commercial source of Locust Bean Gum, although only part of the seed is useful for that purpose. The center of the seed is composed of a hard yellow embryo germ portion (25% to 30%) that is surrounded by a large layer of white semi-transparent endosperm (35% to 45%). This whole mass is covered by a tenacious dark brown husk, or outer coating (30% to 35%). Production of a high-quality locust bean gum involves efficient removal of the outer husk, and the separation of the endosperm from the germ. The seeds must first be conditioned and then dehusked and degerminated by various milling operations. The pure endosperm is then ground into a fine flour.

Xanthan Gum is a hydrocolloid obtained by corn fermentation and subsequently purified.

Norevo Agar agar is a natural, hot-water-soluble hydrocolloid made from the extract of red seaweeds. It serves as a natural gelling agent and thickener with high gel strength levels that allow for the production of highly stable and thermo-reversible gels for food applications and other industrial uses. It is purified, homogenized, and water-soluble agar-agar powder, available in standardized and customized qualities. Agar-agar is easy to use, dose, and store.

Agarmex Food Grade Agar is the ideal substitute for animal gelatins since it is 100% vegetable in origin and its gelling power is 6 times higher than that of animal gelling agents. In addition, it is a powerful appetite suppressant and provides a large amount of natural fiber, which makes it ideal for low-calorie diets.

Gumix Agar Agar is a dried hydrophilic colloidal polygalactoside extracted from certain marine algae of the class Rhodophyceae. Commercially, two types of Agar are produced from Gelidium and Gracilaria species of this red algae. The basic seaweed raw material is gathered in many areas throughout the world. Mediterranean countries, South America, and the Far East are the main sources of Agar. Commercial Agar is processed by hot-water extractions from the cleaned and bleached seaweed, followed by freezing to allow for the removal of soluble salts and finally, filtration. The resulting extract is then dried and milled to the desired particle size.

Colony Gums Locust Bean Gum is a thermally processed food stored frozen, refrigerated or at room temperature. This fall into two major groups: thickeners and gelling systems both which also include moisture management.

Gumix Alginates / Alginic Acid is a polysaccharide found in brown seaweeds, Phaeophyceae. Of those brown seaweeds, it is the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera that is primarily used in manufacture of Algin. This specie is found mainly in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa, and grows in calm waters and in large, dense beds. Other seaweeds used in manufacture of Algin are Ascophyllum nodosum and Laminaria and Ecklonia.

AEP Colloids Gum Tragacanth is an exudate of the Astragalus genus of plants in the Leguinosae family. Found in areas of Asia Minor, the gum is exuded through breaks or wounds in the bark of the shrub. When water is added to Gum Tragacanth, a soft adhesive paste can be formed, typically at a 2 – 4 % concentration. This paste accounts for many of its uses in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

F Gutkind Guar Gum 3500/200 material consists of a free flowing, buff colored powder obtained from the endosperm of the seeds of the Guar plant, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus. It disperses readily 20ºC in cold water to give 100% solubility.

Gumix Gum Tragacanth is the dried gum exuded by the stem elements of Astragalus gummifer, or other Asiatic species of Astragalus. This small, bushy perennial shrub is characterized by a relatively large tap root, which, along with the branches, is tapped for the gum. These plants grow wild in sections of the Asia Minor region. The gum exudes spontaneously from cuts made in the bark. The exudate is in the form of ribbons or flakes which become brittle upon drying. After collection, the gum is sorted by hand into various grades. The product is then cleaned, milled, and further processed to conform to sterility standards.

Colony Gums Guar Gum is derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant, Cyamoposis tetragonolobus, family Leguminosae.

AEP Colloids Locust Bean Gum Supplier also referred to as Carob Bean Gum, comes from the carob tree (Ceratonia silisqua) of the family Leguminous. The gum itself is derived from the ground endosperm of the seeds contained in the pod-shaped fruit of the tree. Similar in composition to Guar Gum this galactomannan polysaccharide can be used in applications where clarity is not desired. The main difference between Guar Gum and Locust Bean Gum is the need for Locust Bean Gum to be dispersed in hot water and allowed to cool to achieve its full viscosity. Utilized on its own, this neutral polymer creates a stable viscosity over a wide range of pH levels with resistance to shear thinning.
