Because of all that, it has recently expanded beyond the vegan and vegetarian markets. The health-conscious and specialty diet crowds use it often, too. So, what does all that mean for the final products made with each ingredient? Typically, agar agar dishes will be firmer than those made with gelatin.
Agar agar flakes can also be ground in a coffee or spice grinder and are less concentrated than the powder. They are white and look a little like fish food. Two tablespoons (about 8 g) of agar agar flakes is roughly equivalent to 2 teaspoons of agar agar powder. Finding agar agar was pretty difficult several years ago. But fortunately, it’s recently become more popular. You can usually find it at most major supermarkets. It can be used as addition to or as a replacement for pectin in jams and marmalades, as a substitute to gelatin for its superior gelling properties, and as a strengthening ingredient in souffles and custards. Another use of agar-agar is in a Russian dish ptich'ye moloko ( bird's milk), a rich jellified custard (or soft meringue) used as a cake filling or chocolate-glazed as individual sweets. To use it, you mix it with water and boil it. It becomes gel-like and perfect for puddings, jellies, and certain desserts.

[13] In the Philippines, Gracilaria, known as gulaman (or gulaman dagat) in Tagalog, have been harvested and used as food for centuries, eaten both fresh or sun-dried and turned into jellies. The earliest historical attestation is from the Vocabulario de la lengua tagala (1754) by the Jesuit priests Juan de Noceda and Pedro de Sanlucar, where golaman or gulaman was defined as "una yerva, de que se haze conserva a modo de Halea, naze en la mar" ("an herb, from which a jam-like preserve is made, grows in the sea"), with an additional entry for guinolaman to refer to food made with the jelly.

There are a variety of different types of agar that support the growth of different microorganisms. A nutrient agar may be permissive, allowing for the cultivation of any non-fastidious microorganisms; a commonly-used nutrient agar for bacteria is the Luria Bertani (LB) agar which contains lysogeny broth, a nutrient-rich medium used for bacterial growth. [39] Other fastidious organisms may require the addition of different biological fluids such as horse or sheep blood, serum, egg yolk, and so on. [40] Agar plates can also be selective, and can be used to promote the growth of bacteria of interest while inhibiting others. A variety of chemicals may be added to create an environment favourable for specific types of bacteria or bacteria with certain properties, but not conducive for growth of others. For example, antibiotics may be added in cloning experiments whereby bacteria with antibiotic-resistant plasmid are selected. [41] Motility assays [ edit ]
