化學(xué)的特性
Agar occurs as transparent, odorless, tasteless strips or as a coarse
or fine powder. It may be weak yellowish-orange, yellowish-gray to
pale-yellow colored, or colorless. Agar is tough when damp, brittle
when dry.
天然物の起源
Agar is found in several species of red marine algae in oceans around the world.
使用
Agar is a gum obtained from red seaweeds of the genera gelidium,
gracilaria, and eucheuma, class rhodophyceae. it is a mixture of the
polysaccharides agarose and agaropectin. it is insoluble in cold
water, slowly soluble in hot water, and soluble in boiling water,
forming a gel upon cooling. the gels are characterized as being
tough and brittle, setting at 32–40°c, and melting at 95°c. a rigid,
tough gel can be formed at 0.5%. agar mainly functions in gel for-
mation because of its range between melting and setting tempera-
tures, being used in piping gels, glazes, icings, dental impression
material, and microbiological plating. typical use levels are
0.1–2.0%.
調(diào)製方法
Agar is obtained by freeze-drying a mucilage derived from Gelidium
amansii Lamouroux, other species of the same family (Gelidiaceae),
or other red algae (Rhodophyta).
定義
agar: An extract of certain species ofred seaweeds that is used as a gellingagent in microbiological culturemedia, foodstuffs, medicines, andcosmetic creams and jellies. Nutrientagar consists of a broth made frombeef extract or blood that is gelledwith agar and used for the cultivationof bacteria, fungi, and somealgae.
一般的な説明
Tan powder.
空気と水の反応
Water insoluble.
反応プロフィール
Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. They exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior.
火災(zāi)危険
Flash point data for Agar are not available. Agar is probably combustible.
応用例（製薬）
Agar is widely used in food applications as a stabilizing agent. In
pharmaceutical applications, agar is used in a handful of oral tablet
and topical formulations. It has also been investigated in a number
of experimental pharmaceutical applications including as a
sustained-release agent in gels, beads, microspheres, and tablets.It has also been reported to work as a disintegrant in tablets.
Agar has been used in a floating controlled-release tablet; the
buoyancy in part being attributed to air entrapped in the agar gel
network.It can be used as a viscosity-increasing agent in aqueous
systems. Agar can also be used as a base for nonmelting, and
nondisintegrating suppositories.Agar has an application as a
suspending agent in pharmaceutical suspensions.
安全性プロファイル
Mildly toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.
安全性
Agar is widely used in food applications and has been used in oral
and topical pharmaceutical applications. It is generally regarded as
relatively nontoxic and nonirritant when used as an excipient.

貯蔵
Agar solutions are most stable at pH 4–10.
Agar should be stored in a cool, dry, place. Containers of this
material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product
residues (dust, solids).
不和合性
Agar is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Agar is
dehydrated and precipitated from solution by ethanol (95%).
Tannic acid causes precipitation; electrolytes cause partial dehydration
and decrease in viscosity of sols.
