Agar Agar Powder

Original price was: KSh700.00.Current price is: KSh500.00.
Agar agar powder refers to the dehydrated and powdered form of agar agar, a natural gelling agent derived from seaweed. It is made by drying and grinding the agar agar gel, resulting in a fine powder with excellent gelling properties. Agar agar powder is commonly used in cooking, baking, and food preparation as a vegetarian and vegan substitute for gelatin. It is prized for its ability to create firm and stable gels at relatively low concentrations and temperatures. Agar agar powder is versatile and can be used in a variety of recipes, including desserts, confectioneries, jams, jellies, and savory dishes.

Aluminum Ammonium Sulphate

Original price was: KSh650.00.Current price is: KSh500.00.
Aluminum ammonium sulfate, also known as ammonium alum or just alum, is a chemical compound with the formula (NH4)Al(SO4)2Ā·12H2O. It's a white crystalline solid commonly used in water purification, leather tanning, and as a mordant in dyeing textiles. In water purification, alum acts as a coagulant to remove impurities by causing suspended particles to clump together, making it easier for filtration to remove them. In leather tanning, it helps to stabilize the leather by tightening the collagen fibers. And in dyeing textiles, alum helps the dye adhere to the fabric. However, it's important to note that excessive exposure to aluminum compounds like alum can be harmful, so it's typically used with caution and proper safety measures.

Aluminum Carbonate 250g

Original price was: KSh700.00.Current price is: KSh600.00.
