STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF DEHYDRATION BY THE PRESSURE AND FROZEN ON THE YIELD AND QUALITY OF AGAR
压榨法脱水和冷冻法脱水生产琼胶在质量及产率上的差异

The effects of dehydration by the pressure and frozen methods on the qualities and yield of agar gel extracted from Gelidiella acerosa and Gracilaria blodgettii were compared. The results showed that the agar produced by the pressure method had the better gel strength and qualities than that produced by the frozen method, but the agar yield was reversed, the fprzen method gave a higher yield.
