Sosa Agar Agar is a plant-based gelling agent derived from red algae, commonly used as a natural alternative to animal gelatin. Odourless, colourless, and neutral in taste, it is ideal for applications requiring clarity, clean flavour release, and firm structure.
Agar agar must be heated to 90 °C to activate and sets upon cooling to approximately 60 °C. Unlike gelatin, it is thermoreversible and can be reheated multiple times without loss of functionality. It produces a soft yet resilient gel, making it suitable for both sweet and savoury preparations.
