## Description

Est-Agar is a brand that is at the forefront of seaweed innovation, with a focus on the red seaweed Furcellaria lumbricalis. This unique seaweed, also known as Furcellaria Fastigiata, is found in Scandinavian cold waters, particularly in Kassari bay, Estonia. Est-Agar is the licensed owner of the quota for this valuable seaweed resource.

The main product offered by Est-Agar is furcellaran, a texturant derived from Furcellaria lumbricalis. Often referred to as vegan gelatine, furcellaran is a versatile ingredient that can be used in various industries as an alternative to other gums and texturing agents, as well as non-sustainable ingredients.

Est-Agar is committed to research and science, continuously exploring the potential applications of furcellaran. They have gathered a collection of articles written by independent scientists from around the world, covering topics such as beer wort fining agents, food packaging materials, and even drug delivery systems.

While Furcellaria lumbricalis can be found in several countries, Est-Agar is the only company that currently produces furcellaran. Other locations have seen a decline in algal stocks due to trawling or pollution. However, it's worth noting that the first furcellaran factory was established in Denmark in the 1940s, giving the seaweed its other common name, Danish agar.

With their expertise in blue biotechnology and dedication to sustainable and innovative solutions, Est-Agar is shaping the future of the industry and providing a valuable alternative for businesses in various sectors.
