Patisdécor - Carrageenan Kappa 10 g

Kappa carrageenan is a gelling agent of vegetable origin, which gives a brittle and firm result.

It is particularly suitable for fruits that cannot be gelled with gelatine (pineapple, kiwi, papaya) and for making milk-based desserts. Indeed, it allows the stabilisation of milk proteins and many creams.

Its gelling power is 8 times greater than that of gelatin.

Obtained from red algae, carrageenans are natural polysaccharides that are colourless, odourless and tasteless and are therefore widely used as thickeners and gelling agents in food.

Of plant origin, this gelling agent is an alternative to animal-based gelling agents and is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Ingredients : Carrageenan E407, dextrose.

Implementation:

Pre-mix dry with other dry ingredients.
Pour the preparation into a hot liquid with vigorous agitation and keep it stirring until it is completely dissolved.
It sets very quickly and gels when cooled (from 40°C). Gives a strong, smooth and brittle gel, resistant to heat (up to 65°C).

The gel is heat-reversible: melts at around 70°C. The product hydrates but only solubilises when the temperature exceeds about 70°C.

Recommended dosage: 0.5 to 1% per kilo of preparation.
