Our Food Grade Agar Strip is a premium natural hydrocolloid extracted from carefully selected red algae. Known for its excellent gelling ability, high transparency, and superior stability, agar strip is widely used in food processing, commercial kitchens, confectionery manufacturing, and various industrial applications.
Unlike animal-derived gelatin, agar strip is 100% plant-based, making it an ideal choice for vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, and clean-label food products. It dissolves completely when heated and forms a firm, stable gel upon cooling, providing excellent texture, appearance, and product consistency.
With reliable gel performance, neutral flavor, and strong thermal stability, our agar strip is trusted by food manufacturers, distributors, catering companies, and ingredient wholesalers worldwide.
Produced from high-quality marine red algae without animal-derived ingredients.
Forms stable gels even at low concentrations, helping manufacturers reduce ingredient consumption while maintaining product quality.
Creates crystal-clear gels ideal for premium desserts, jelly products, and food presentations.
Does not affect the original flavor, aroma, or appearance of finished products.
Maintains gel structure under various processing and storage conditions.
Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher, and gluten-free formulations.
Available in multiple packaging options with OEM and private label services.

Our agar strip is produced through a strict and controlled manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality and food safety.
The production process includes:
Alkali Treatment
Washing and Purification
Bleaching
Boiling and Extraction
Filtration
Gel Formation
Strip Extrusion
Freezing
Dehydration
Drying
Packaging
Each production stage is carefully monitored to guarantee high purity, excellent transparency, and stable gelling performance.
Agar possesses unique thermal properties that make it an excellent natural gelling agent.
When heated to approximately 95°C, agar strip dissolves completely in water. As the solution cools to around 40°C, it forms a strong three-dimensional gel network.
This characteristic allows agar to:
Produce firm and stable gels
Maintain structure at room temperature
Provide excellent water retention
Deliver superior texture and mouthfeel
Offer better heat resistance than traditional gelatin
