FOOD AGAR
GOLDAGAR	Goldagar is a food grade agar extracted from selected red seaweeds of the type Gelidium from different origins. It is used in different food applications such us confectionery, bakery, glazing, dairy and meat products. Goldagar represents the company´s premium food agar type commercialized since its beginnings. The low gelling point temperature that this high quality agar offers makes it very appropriate for certain specific applications where solutions must be kept liquid for a longer time. Another important characteristic of this agar is its stability under autoclaving, which makes it ideal for use in all those products that need to be sterilized. It also perfoms well in adverse pH conditions.
AGARITE	Agarite™ is the newest line of food grade agar from Hispanagar to complement the traditional range. Obtained from Gracilaria seaweed, its excellent compatibility with high sugar content makes it highly recommended for different uses in confectionery, bakery, jams, icings and glazings. It offers a higher gel point than Goldagar, which makes it ideal in products that require a faster gelling time. Hispanagar offers a complete range of different gel strengths within the Agarite™ line.
SCIENTIFIC AGAR
BACTERIOLOGICAL AGAR	Bacteriological agar is used in the preparation of culture media and in other bacteriological applications. Its main advantage is the absence of inhibitors which could hinder optimal development of microorganisms. In addition, bacteriological agar also possesses other attributes such as premium transparency, high hysteresis and very reliable reproducibility. Responding to different market standards, two types of bacteriological agar coexist in the Hispanagar portfolio: European has a little higher gel strength and is used in concentrations of 1.0% to 1.2%. American-type agar gives lower gel strength and is used at concentrations ranging from 1.2% to 1.6%.
PURIFIED BACTERIOLOGICAL AGAR	This highly purified agar is recommended for uses in Biochemistry and in Microbiology. Through the purification process the product demonstrates a salt content essentially lower than any other bacteriological agar. This process also decreases the small oligosaccharide fractions and increases the agarose content. Hispanagar has established and maintains strict performance controls over the physicochemical, biochemical and bacteriological properties of this product which guarantee its exceptional behaviour in all possible applications, including biochemical, bacteriological and mycological applications.
PTC AGAR	This agar is designed for use in plant tissue culture micropropagation techniques. It exhibits a high gel strength at greater than 1000 g/cm², is colorless with good clarity. PTC agar is free from impurities and inhibitors that could interfere with the development of plant cellular growth. All Hispanagar agar types meet the specifications of the U.S. Food Chemical Codex (FCC) as well as the Directive of the European Community (EEC) applicable EEC number: E-406 (Agar-Agar)
