Characteristics of Gelidium sp seaweed and its agar from Lampung Waters

Research on the characteristics of seaweed Gelidium sp from Lampung waters and its agar has been done. This study aims to look at harvested by collectors produced. Seaweed is wild main producing area in Lampung, Krui. The quality parameters observed were moisture content, impurities clean anhydrous weed (CAW) as well yield. While gel strength, gelling point melting point. results showed that an average content 15.53%, impurites 20.80%, CAW 38.13% yield 8,21%. observations 10.15%, strength 674 g/cm2, 31.50C 800C. These indicate potentially used a raw material for extraction.
