Description

Abstract The effects of radiation on the formation of the cross-links of the agar-agar hydrogel were studied by measuring the melting point and setting point, and by calculating the heats of reaction for the cross-linking processes at different radiation doses, times after irradiation and concentrations of added substances (sugar and starch). The empirical equations for the melting point and the setting point were obtained.
