Description
Agar agar forms a gel-like substance when dissolved in hot water and cooled.
Technical
The gelification process occurs when agar agar, a polysaccharide extracted from red algae, is dissolved in hot water and then cooled, forming a hydrocolloid. This process is reversible and can be influenced by factors such as concentration and temperature.
