It is used for thickening and gelling foods without affecting color or flavor. Since its gelling power is ten times higher than animal gelatine, it is effective at very low levels. In addition, Agar-Agar has a very high content of soluble fiber (almost 90% by weight) and minerals, so it is often included in dietetic foods. Unlike other food hydrocolloids such as carrageenan and pectin, agar does not require other agents (such as salts) to form gels. Thus, it contributes much less to ash content than other gelling agents. Agar-Agar can be used in confectionery (jellies, caramels, toppings, jams, cake and doughnut icings), dairy products, canned foods, baked goods, soups and casseroles. 收起 | |

Prune extract/concentrate does not cause spikes in blood sugar, since it contains natural sweetening agents such as fructose and sorbitol, rather than sucrose (white sugar). Prune extract makes a healthy commercial sweetener for yogurt, ice cream sundays, and shakes. Prune concentrate/extract can also be used for commercial foods like salad dressings, marinades, and barbecue sauces. As little as 3 percent of plum extract is mixed with raw meats, making it more than 90 percent effective in curbing the growth of pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. 收起 |
