Agar-agar is a natural gelling agent that is derived from seaweed. It has been used for centuries in many Asian cuisines and is also gaining popularity in Western cooking. In recent years, a new type of agar-agar has emerged on the market known as low-temperature quick soluble agar, or spreadable agar.

In this article, we will explore the differences between regular agar-agar and low-temperature quick soluble agar.

Differences Between Regular Agar and Low-Temperature Quick Soluble Agar (2)

1. Gel Strength

The gel strength of agar-agar is determined by its ability to form a firm gel. Regular agar-agar typically has a higher gel strength than low-temperature quick soluble agar. This means that regular agar-agar will create a firmer gel than low-temperature quick soluble agar with the same dosage, which is more suitable for applications that require a strong, stable gel, such as desserts or jellies.

2. Dissolving Temperature

The dissolving temperature is the temperature at which the agar-agar starts to dissolve. Regular agar-agar has a higher dissolving temperature than low-temperature quick soluble agar. This means that regular agar-agar requires a higher temperature to dissolve than low-temperature quick soluble agar.

The dissolving temperature for regular agar-agar is above 95°C, while for low-temperature spreadable agar, it is around 60-80°C. The lower dissolving temperature of low-temperature spreadable agar makes it suitable for use in products that require lower processing temperatures.

3. Dissolving Speed

Low-temperature quick soluble agar dissolves faster than regular agar-agar. It can dissolve completely in 5-10 minutes, while still maintains the original gel, stability and suspension properties.

This provides great convenience for the application of spreadable agar in various foods and greatly reduces its use cost. 

However regular agar-agar can take up to 15 minutes to dissolve.

4. Clarity

Clarity refers to the transparency of the gel created by the agar-agar.

Regular agar-agar has a slightly lower transparency than low-temperature spreadable agar. This makes low-temperature spreadable agar ideal for use in products that require a clear appearance, such as desserts and jellies.

5. Versatility

Regular agar-agar is more versatile than low-temperature spreadable agar. It can be used in a wide range of food products, including dairy, confectionery, bakery, and meat products. Low-temperature spreadable agar, on the other hand, is best suited for use in products that require a clear appearance and low processing temperatures.

6. Price

The price of low-temperature spreadable agar is higher than that of regular agar-agar. This is due to the higher processing costs associated with producing spreadable agar.

Similarities

Both types of agar-agar are derived from seaweed and are plant-based.

Both types of agar-agar are used as gelling agents in a variety of applications.

Both types of agar-agar are free from animal products and are suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets.

In Conclusion

While regular agar-agar and low-temperature spreadable agar are both derived from seaweed and have similar properties, they differ in gel strength, dissolving temperature requirements, clarity, versatility and price. They have their own unique properties and are suitable for different applications. The choice between the two will depend on the specific requirements of the recipe and the desired end result.
