Description
TEXTURAS Iota carrageenan, a gelling agent extracted from red algae (mainly Chondrus and Eucheuma genera) known for creating gels with a soft and elastic consistency, and it can also be used to make hot jellies.
- Composition: Iota carrageenan is a natural gelling agent derived from red seaweed. It forms soft, elastic gels, especially in the presence of calcium.
- Properties: This product creates smooth, flexible gels that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles, making it great for products requiring a soft gel texture. It gels at room temperature.
- Uses: Iota carrageenan is used in dairy-based gels, panna cottas, and custards. It is also common in confectionery and desserts where a stable, soft gel texture is needed.
Key characteristics include:
- Presentation in refined powder
- Dissolves in cold water and requires heating to about 80°C for gelation.
- Forms a soft gel that does not set while the mixture is shaken.
- If the gel breaks, it reconstitutes by letting it rest.
Perfect for creating innovative textures in culinary applications.
