- Because it is made up of soluble fiber, after the consumption, vegetable powder will "triple" when exposed to the liquid in the stomach to form a gel, this gel will "suck" fat as well as sugar. However, this gel can not be digested so it will "get" the body to export out along with fat and sugar.

Can the agar-agar powder replace galatin or not? or the opposite case?
- Although galetin and agar-agar powder are all capable of bonding, linking food but if question for completely replacement, then the answer is NO.
- First, the process of using is different. Agar-agar powder requires being cooked at least 30 seconds before being allowed to cool, and after cooling, the hardening process begins. The mixture will solidify, harden.
- Secondly, agar-agar powder is able to freeze 8 times more than galetin, so once you want to replace galetin, you have to recalculate the dose accordingly.
- When using galetin the product will be spongy, like ice cream; and while with agar-agar powder, the product will be firm, brittle texture.
- The finished product is not frozen in the freezer because it will run out if it cools, and galetin is resistant to low temperatures.
How to use.
- 2gr agar-agar powder~06 sheets of galetin ~ 1cc
- On average 2g of agar-agar powder requires 500ml of liquid, but if finished product with fat, such as fresh cream, then reduce the amount of agar-agar powder.
