A COMPARISON OF ALKALINE TREATMENT METHODS IN THE PRODUCTION OF GRACILARIA AGAR
不同碱处理法制造江蓠琼胶的比较

Four alkaline treatment methods (high concentration alkali cold treatment, high concentration alkali warm treatment, medium concentration alkali hot treatment and low concentration alkali hot treatment) have been studied. Their effects on the gel strength and yield of agars from four species of Gracilaria were compared. The results show that the high concentration alkali cold treatment method is generally the best one of the four methods studied.
