Agar agar it is like gelatine and used in desserts and soups
Gelatine is an animal derived setting agent - it's clear and practically tasteless. It's obtained by boiling the animal carcases, once all the meat has been removed, then straining the water to obtain the gelatine. Beef gelatine is from cows (sometimes called bovine gelatine). Gelatine comes in a powder form, or as a clear sheet (or 'leaf'). It dissolves in water, enabling substances to 'set', like jellies. A vegetarian alternative is agar gel, sometimes called "agar agar" gel. It's derived from seaweed and has a higher melting temperature (so you can serve a jelly with a warm sauce without the jelly melting).

Vegetarians in particular will be interested to know the specific contents of gelatin. From the related link comes the following information: "Gelatin (US spelling) or gelatine (British spelling) (used to make Jell-o and other desserts) is made from the boiled bones, skins and tendons of animals. An alternative substance is called Agar-Agar, which is derived from seaweed. Another is made from the root of the Kuzu. Agar-Agar is sold in noodle-like strands, in powdered form, or in long blocks, and is usually white-ish in color."
