HIGHLY VISCOELASTIC AND HIGHLY STRONG AGAR, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing an agar that is also provided with a high rupture strength even while having a high viscoelasticity that has not been obtained in conventional agars. By performing an extraction operation from an agar source seaweed under certain alkalinity conditions and temperature conditions, an agar was obtained that was also provided with a high rupture strength even while having a high viscoelasticity that has not been obtained in conventional agars.
