Compared to gelatin, agar preparations require a higher dissolving temperature, but the resulting gels congeal more quickly and remain solid at higher temperatures, 40 °C (104 °F), [11] as opposed to 15 °C (59 °F) [12] for gelatin. These other gelling agents may also be preferred for certain traditional cuisines or dietary restrictions.
