Agar
Agar (agar-agar) is a gelatinous polysaccharide extracted from red algae, primarily Gelidium and Gracilaria species. It is widely used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilising agent in food, cosmetics, and microbiology. It is a common plant-based alternative to animal-derived gelatin.
Carrageenan
Carrageenan is a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed (Rhodophyta), particularly species such as Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) and Kappaphycus alvarezii. It is widely used as a thickener, gelling agent, and stabiliser in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.
Pectin
A naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the primary cell walls and intercellular layers of plants. Commercially extracted from citrus peels and apple pomace, it is widely used as a gelling agent, thickener, and stabiliser in food and cosmetics.
