?O Agar he mea malo?o, hydrophilic, colloidal polysaccharide complex i unuhi ?ia mai nā agarocytes o nā algae o ka Rhodophyceae. Mana?o ?ia ka hale he ?ano pa?akikī o nā kaulahao polysaccharide me nā loulou a-(1!3) a me b-(1!4). ?Ekolu mau ?ano ki?eki?e o ka hale i ?ike ?ia: ?o ia ho?i ka neutral agarose; pyruvated agarose me ka li?ili?i o ka sulfation; a me kahi galactan sulfated. Hiki ke ho?oka?awale ?ia ?o Agar i kahi hakina gelling maoli, agarose, a me kahi hakina nongelling sulfated, agaropectin. Ho?ohana i mea pani no ka gelatin, isingglass, a me nā mea ?ē a?e i ka hana ?ana i nā emulsion me ke ki?i pa?i, nā gels i nā mea ho?onaninani, a ma ke ?ano he mea mānoanoa i nā mea?ai. nā mea momona a me nā huahana waiu; i ke kini ?i?o; i ka hana ?ana i nā encapsulations lā?au lapa?au a me nā ?aila; e like me ke kumu ho?ohehe?e niho; e like me ka corrosion inhibitor; ka nui o ke kilika a me ka pepa; i ka waiho?olu?u a me ka pa?i ?ana i nā lole a me nā textiles; i nā mea ho?opili. I loko o nā mea?ai mea?ai no nā mo?omeheu bacteria.
