Agar agar stands out as the foremost alternative to gelatin in the food industry. Extracted from boiled and pressed seaweed, this tasteless gelling agent is offered in powder, flake, or bar forms. Unlike gelatin, it doesn't need refrigeration to set and typically gels within an hour after incorporation into any recipe.

Another popular gelatin substitute is carrageen, also known as Irish moss, derived from seaweed found in coastal waters near France, Ireland, and North America. Carrageen produces softer puddings and gels compared to traditional gelatin. On the other hand, pectin, primarily a fiber found in fruit cell walls, transforms into a gel-like substance when heated and combined with sugars and acids, serving as a thick alternative to gelatin.
