| dc.description.abstract | The optimum yield of extracting agar from the Red Seaweeds (Gracillaria sp.) is obtained from the non-acid treated agar, while the acid treated seaweed gives an agar with strong gelling properties. The protein content, is very low in the Namibian red algae, with similar 3-6 anhydrogalactose absorbency at 438nm wavelength even if the seaweeds were treated under different treatments. The ash content is relatively high and the gelling strength differs with the acid treatment. The higher the acid, the stronger the gelling properties | en_US |
