The Gracilaria (Gracilaria spp.) encompasses a diverse group of marine macroalgae that thrive in the coastal waters of Chile. These seaweed species are primary sources of raw materials for the global agar industry, known for their versatility and unique properties. The various Gracilaria varieties present in our coastline offer specific characteristics that meet multiple industrial applications.
The commercial value of Gracilaria mainly stems from its content of agarophytes, compounds that form thermoreversible gels of high quality. These natural hydrocolloids provide exceptional gelling, stabilizing, and texturizing properties. The molecular structure of their polysaccharides allows for use in food formulations, microbiological culture media, pharmaceutical products, and advanced biotechnological applications.
Our selective harvesting process ensures the acquisition of optimal species according to client requirements. Gracilaria is harvested following marine sustainability protocols, preserving the biodiversity of algal ecosystems. Subsequent processing maintains the integrity of its bioactive components and functional properties.
The Chilean Gracilaria species present a rich nutritional composition, including marine minerals, iodine, iron, calcium, and magnesium. They provide plant proteins, complex carbohydrates, and natural antioxidant compounds. Their nutritional profile makes them valuable ingredients for functional food industry.
