    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Q: How does Agar-Agar differ from regular Gelatin?

    Answer: Agar-Agar is plant-based (seaweed), whereas Gelatin is animal-derived. Agar has a much higher melting point (stays solid at room temperature) and a firmer texture, making it ideal for tropical climates.

    Q: What is the required temperature to dissolve Agar-Agar?

    Answer: Agar-Agar must be brought to a boil (approximately 90-100°C) and simmered for a few minutes to fully dissolve and activate its gelling properties. It will not dissolve in cold water.

    Q: Can I adjust the gel firmness?

    Answer: Yes, the firmness can be adjusted by changing the concentration of the powder or by selecting a different Gel Strength grade (e.g., switching from 900 to 1200 g/cm2) based on your formulation needs.
