Agar Agar Plant tissue culture grade is used as a gelling agent in the growth and in-vitro propagation of plant tissues. For visible growth of tissue, the culture must have pure and high-quality gelling agent.
Our Agar mediaâ??s purity and transparency permits a clear and immediate identification of fungi, bacteria or moulds formation. It does not react with sulphates, therefore providing a stability.
The major application of agar agar is in the field of plant tissue culture. The growing interest in tissue culture as a standard method for the propagation of orchids and other ornamental plants, vegetables, fruits and other agricultural products has increased the demand for agar agar.
We give a lot of importance to packaging. Materials are packed in polythene bags and then placed in poly h.B drums or poly fibre drums as per requirements of customers. This prevents not only contamination but also ensures that quality is maintained during storage period.
Agar Agar is used as 100% vegetarian substitute for Gelatin (manufactured from animal bones and skin) in the food industry. The usage is fast gaining ground due to the worldwide shift for products of vegetable origin. Agar Agar has been used for many centuries as high performance gelling agent.Food grade agar is used in the manufacture of confectionery, jellies, candies, ice creams, sweets industries, glazing and icing coatings, piping jellies & many other innovative products. We can offer food grade agar processed from geledium & gracelaria seaweeds
Spreadable agar-agar type wondergel is a unique functional ingredient obtained by transforming the rigid structure of native agar-agar with no chemical treatment to give a softer and creamy texture while still maintaining the natural benefits of seaweed fiber.
Wondergel is an excellent alternative for partial or total replacement of traditional animal-based gelling agents and other expensive hydrocolloids to provide a particularly delicate and succulent mouthfeel with smooth thixotropic flow.
Common applications for wondergel are for preparation of thermoreversible cake glaze, decorative piping gel, yogurt, cream fillings & custards, soft creamy instant puddings etc.

For specific use-cases, the culture medium for bacterial growth can be either liquid, solid or semi-solid. Agar-agar is a popular choice as culture media as it is a good way to form solid or semisolid medium.
Culture Media gives artificial environment simulating natural conditions necessary for the growth of bacteria. The basic requirements for Culture Media are :
Sealife is our 2 in 1 texturizer and plant based dietary fibre, made from 100% pure pulverized Gracilaria seaweed. It is not just a simple seaweed fibre but is considered as a novel food ingredient giving:
Soluble and insoluble dietary fibre
Enhanced mouthfeel and texture
High content of functional minerals
Sealife is organic, chlorine free, gluten free and non-GMO. Its soluble fibre component can be dissolved in warm water to form gel up on cooling. It is a clean label friendly food ingredient without requirement of E number.
Plant gel is a high- molecular weight polysaccharide gum that is a product of fermentation of carbohydrates by pseudomonas Elodea which is purified, dried and powdered. Plant Gel is ideal for most microbial and plant tissue culture applications. Its gelling property makes it a viable ingredient of jellies, beverages, dairy products etc.
Guar gum is derived from the endosperm of guar beans. The seeds of the Guar plant consists of three main parts the germ, the endosperm and the husk. Guar gum is processed by removing the husk, followed by milling and filtering to produce a slightly yellow powder that has a good flow.
Guar gum is also economical because it has a better the water-thickening ability than other agents (e.g. cornstarch) and only a small quantity is needed for producing sufficient viscosity.
Curdlan Gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide obtained from pure-culture fermentation from a non-pathogenic and non-toxicogenic strain of alcaligenes faecalis. Curdlan gum can form different types of gels under different conditions: When the aqueous suspension of curdlan gum is heated to more than 85 and then cooled, high solid gel namely thermal irreversible gel, can be generated. The gel will not liquefy even if it is heated to 120; After heating to 55 and cooling, a low solid gel, namely thermally reversible gel, is formed. Generally, the high solid form of the gel is mainly popular use Curdlan improves the water retention, elasticity and freeze-thaw stability of the food. Its functional uses as a Firming agent, Gelling agent, Stabilizer, Thickener. The gel of curdlan gum has strong stability to high temperature. It is stable in food processing like cooking, frying, microwave and other high temperature conditions. The water holding capacity of curdlan gum in food will help to bind more water molecules in various applications like meat products, fish products, jellies, tofu, bakery, frozen foods, salad dressing and also in biopharmaceutical, petroleum industry, Household products, Agriculture pesticide, Personal Care: Toothpaste and Cosmetics application.
