Method Of Application
Due to their density variance, flake and powdered agar need to be used in different proportions, here are some guidelines: Powdered agar can be substituted for unflavored gelatin in the same quantities in recipes. One teaspoon of powdered agar to one tablespoon of agar flakes. Typical usage levels are 1/2% water agar. The ability of agar to gel is influenced by the acidity or alkalinity of the ingredients it is mixed with. Acidic foods, such as citrus fruits and strawberries, may require higher amounts of agar. Some ingredients will not gel at all in these settings: (too acidic) kiwi, pineapple, fresh figs, paw paws, papaya, mango and peaches, which contain enzymes that break down the gelling ability (although cooked fruits seem to lose this effect), chocolate and spinach.
