Description and Uses
Agar is a complex water-soluble polysaccharide composed of gelatin agarose (agarose, also known as agarin) and gelatin free agar pectin (agaropectin, agaric ester) two parts. Agarose is a disaccharide composed of two galactose. Agar can be hydrolyzed by acid to obtain agar disaccharide, agar tetrasaccharide and other oligosaccharides; Oligosaccharides such as neoqiongdisaccharide and neoqiongtetrasaccharide were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis. Neutral neoqiongdisaccharide with low molecular weight has good hygroscopic and whitening effects.
