Which gum/gums to use to get a gummy texture when using Agar agar powder
Just checked the ingredients of some common brands and it looks that they mostly use a mixture of sucrose and glucose-syrup or invert syrup(aka glucose-fructose-syrup) as a base, some also add modified starch. While pectine, locust bean gum, guar or xanthan is used as thickening agent. Agar also would go in this list, but seems not to be used very much by the industry for making gums. But this might rather be for financial than for technical reasons. I would recommend to search for some recipes to compare against each other and to use as starting point to figure out the right balancing of the mixture.
