- Agar is a polysaccharide derived from red seaweeds that is valued for its uses in the food, cosmetic, and medical industries, but its extraction process is energy-intensive.
- Researchers optimized both conventional and ultrasound-assisted extraction methods, achieving better efficiency and higher agar yields while reducing processing time.
- Characterization of the extracts indicated similarities to commercial agar; however, they exhibited lower gel strength, suggesting they could have unique and innovative applications.
