Gold Agar Gelidium  is a food grade agar extracted from selected

red seaweeds of the type Gelidium from different origins.

Agar-agar is a polysaccharide, consisting primarily of Dand

L-galactose units. About every tenth D-galactopyranose

unit contains a sulfate ester group.

Gold Agar is used in different food applications such as

confectionery, bakery, glazing, dairy and meat products.

Gold Agar meets 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).

Its unique hygienic processing steps reduce the standard plate

count to specially low levels to exceed specifications for

microbial load.
