Agar Agar

Agar-Agar has a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry as an agent for gelation, stabilization, and thickening. Due to these properties, it finds uses in pharmaceuticals to treat various health issues. Some of the prominent uses are :

• Agar as a surgical lubricant

The gelation property makes Agar a good choice as surgical lubricant. The surgeons also use it to reduce discomfort to the patient undergoing surgery.

• Agar as purgative agent

The purgative use of Agar is because it provides a smooth, non-irritant bulk in the gut and stimulates bowel movement.

• Agar for weight loss

As Agar forms a thick bulk in the digestive tract, it makes the tummy full. This results in reduction of unwanted snacking which in turn aids weight loss.

• Agar-based materials to treat tumors

Researchers have developed an injectable hydrogel from Agar. It is now being used in chemo and photo thermal therapies to treat tumors.

Sodium Alginate

Sodium Alginate is known for its biocompatibility, low toxicity, relatively low cost, and mild gelation properties. It is one of the most used substances in the food, pharmaceutical, and textile industry.

Owing to the exclusive physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, Sodium Alginate is widely used in the pharmaceutical preparation field as:

• Thickening agent
• Suspending agent
• Disintegrating agent
• Microencapsulated materials
• Cold-resistant agent for cells

It is also known to lower blood sugar, and work as an antioxidant and increase immunological competence.

In recent years, there has been extensive research to use Sodium Alginate in new pharmaceutical dosage form, as a kind of bioadhesive polymer and PH sensitivity of the gel material.



DENTISTRY

Non-toxic teeth impression materials that most dentists prefer.

Agar Agar

Dentists need precise teeth impressions to diagnose and treat oral issues. Agar can be transformed into gel at attainable temperatures. It is thermoplastic in nature, that means it gets soft or dissolves when heated and hardens or forms gel when cooled.

The thermoplasticity of Agar makes it a popular choice among dentists for cast duplication, full mouth impression and tissue conditioner. Even in their hardened state they are soft and have gel-like structure and transparency.

We produce industry grade Agar products that adhere to all the guidelines that ensure the oral safety of the patient. Our agar products for dentistry have been loved and accepted by doctors to create perfect molds.

Sodium Alginate

Alginate is also preferred by dentists to create mouth impression as it is a safe and cost-effective product. This is an irreversible hydrocolloid.

Chitin & Chitosan

Chitin and Chitosan can be used in producing oral care products such as toothpaste, mouthwashes and chewing gum. Their unique biochemical properties help in freshening the breath and prevent the formation of plaque and tooth decay.

Salts of chitosan mask the unpleasant taste of silicon oxide and bind powders usually found in regular toothpastes. It also helps in maintaining their granular shapes.

Chitin serves as a dental filler material.



CONFECTIONERY

Vegan alternatives to gelatin in making delicious mouth-watering confectioneries.

Agar Agar

Agar is extracted from red seaweed of the class Rhodophyceae via polymerization of galactose. Our products are available in both strips and powdered form. Both give exceptional results when used for confectioneries such as jelly candies, gummies, vegan marshmallows etc.

Carrageenan

Carrageenan is one of the most cost-effective vegan hydrocolloids that gives the perfect texture to various confectionery items. With our high-quality Carrageenan products you can be assured to use safe products into your recipes.

It is ideal for making hard & soft chewy gummy bears, jujubes, candies, chocolate items and much more.

Gellan Gum (Plant Gel)

Gellan Gum is good for making confectioneries to impart the perfect structure and texture. It also helps in reducing the setting time of starch jellies and also reduces the moisture fluctuations of sugar coated confectioneries.



DAIRY PRODUCTS

Relish delightful dairy recipes with high-quality Marine Hydrocolloids dairy stabilizers.

Agar Agar:

Dairy recipes like set yoghurt, ice-creams, kulfi, ice candies, popsicles, etc require stabilizer to gain the required consistency. Agar-Agar acts as a perfect stabiliser and improves the water retention capacity of dairy products. Based on the texture requirements, you can add other colloids with agar to prepare a more effective stabilizer.

Wondergel

Spreadable Agar Wondergel is an ideal choice to make creamy, thick & smooth dairy products such as set, stirred & drinkable yoghurts, flavoured milk, paneer etc. without significant syneresis.

Our range of Spreadable Agar Wondergel variants can be extensively used as stabilizers in many dairy recipes.

Carrageenan

Carrageenan is a widely used stabilizer among dairy processors, as it imparts optimal consistency and a good mouth feel. Our Carrageenan is ideal for making dairy products like ice-creams, yoghurts, flavoured milk and much more.

Alginate

Sodium Alginate’s strong thickening potential makes it a good choice for additives for chocolate milk and other dairy beverages. It imparts perfect consistency without compromising on the mouth feel.

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is primarily used as a thickening, stabilising & emulsifying agent. A small amount of Xanthan Gum when added to liquids can vastly increase the viscosity, making it useful for a variety of dairy products that require thickening. It is widely used in frozen desserts to prevent the crystallization and to improve the softness of final product.



JAMS AND SPREADS

Vegan thickening agents that give your jams the perfect texture.

Agar Agar

The major property of Agar Agar is it’s water holding capacity. Hence it can be used in jams, sugar-free jams and marmalade recipes to get high yield with minimal evaporation loss.

Wondergel

Spreadable Agar Agar Wondergel is an easy-to-use thickening and gelling agent in making varieties of fresh fruit jams, spreads, marmalades etc. The final product will have a smooth, spreadable & soft texture.

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is widely used to make jams, chocolate spreads, fruit spreads etc. It prevents oil-water separation and keeps the jam’s texture intact. It also gives an excellent mouth-feel.

Guar Gum

Guar gum has a better water-thickening ability than other agents (e.g. cornstarch) and only a small quantity is needed for producing sufficient viscosity. It is useful in enhancing the softness and quality of jams & spreads.



BAKERY

Whip up bakery recipes with plant-based ingredients.

Agar Agar

Agar’s ability to gel and hold water has been experimented in the baking industry for a long time.

Bakers love it as it is a vegan way to stabilize icings, glazes, cheese cakes, tarts, pie fillings and coatings that make their products look extremely tempting. It provides the required viscoelastic properties to get the desired firmness in the final baked goods.

Wondergel

Spreadable Agar Agar Wondergel is an easy-to-use vegan substitute for the age-old gelatine. It provides required perfect texture and imparts balanced creaminess to the bakery items such as cake glaze, decorative piping gel, fruit fillings, fondants, cheese cake, creamy custards etc.

Carrageenan

Carrageenan produced at our facility is safe to use for bakery preparations. It can be used as a stabilizing agent in whipped creams, tarts and much more.

Sodium Alginate

Sodium Alginate is widely used in bakery recipes as a thickening agent for bakery toppings/icings or to increase freeze/thaw ability of various items such as bakery creams. Addition of alginates to various baked delicacies makes them resistant to temperature fluctuations and also helps in reducing the setting time. A pinch of Alginate improves the texture of baked goods.
