1.What is Agar?
Agar is a polysaccharide extracted from seaweed and is one of the most widely used seaweed gums in the world. It has a wide range of applications in the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, daily chemical industry, bioengineering and many other aspects, agar used in food can significantly change the quality of food, improve the grade of food. The price is very high. It is characterized by coagulability, stability and other physicochemical properties, can form complexes with some substances, can be used as a thickener, coagulant, suspending agent, emulsifier, preservative and stabilizer. It is widely used in the manufacture of granular orange and various beverages, jelly, ice cream, pastry, soft candy, canned food, meat products, eight treasures porridge, silver ear bird's nest, soup food, cold food and so on. Agar in the chemical industry, medical research, can be used as culture medium, ointment base and other purposes.
2.How is Agar produced?
Step S1, fill the cleaning and soaking device with water at a height of 1/3, and add sodium hydroxide to the water, and put the vegetables into the cleaning and soaking device for soaking. Step S2, after the end of soaking, the soaking water from the discharge of the cleaning soaking device, recycling and storage until the next use; the water will be transported to the cleaning soaking device, will be stirred to clean the vegetables, stirring cleaning and then the water will be discharged from the said cleaning soaking device, repeat the stirring and cleaning for five times until the vegetables are beige color. Step S3, the cleaned Jiang Lijie from the cleaning and soaking device, put into the cooking device, in the cooking device to add water, Jiang Lijie heating cooking, the formation of gelatinous; the formation of gelatinous Jiang Lijie poured into the mixing pot, add perlite filtering agent and stir evenly to remove impurities in the gelatinous Jiang Lijie.
3.How is Agar stored and distributed?
Food grade plastic bag jacketed kraft paper bag or wooden barrel sealed package. Store in a cool and dry place. Pay attention to moisture and humidity. Packed in outer cardboard drums lined with high pressure polyethylene film bags 25kg/bag or according to customer agreement. Store in dry and ventilated warehouse. Food grade according to food hygiene requirements for transportation and storage. Avoid mixed loading and transportation, and load and unload lightly when handling to prevent damage to the package. Precautions for safe operation: In places where dust is generated, provide suitable exhaust equipment. General fire protection measures. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a cool place. Keep containers tightly closed and store in a dry, ventilated area. humidity-sensitive

Agar can absorb water in the intestinal tract, make the intestinal contents swell, increase the amount of stool, stimulate the intestinal wall, and help improve constipation. So people who are often constipated can consume some rockweed appropriately.
