A plant-based gelling agent? Agar-agar and kappa carrageenan

Agar-agar is a versatile, plant-based, and powerful gelling agent extracted from red algae. This natural gelling agent is highly valued for its ability to form firm and stable gels, ideal for many culinary preparations. Unlike pectin or gelatin, agar-agar does not withstand freezing. It is therefore best used in recipes like panna cotta or jellies. With its strong gelling power, agar-agar allows you to achieve clean and well-defined textures.

Kappa carrageenan, also extracted from red algae, stands out for its ability to create gels in combination with milk proteins. It is the ideal ingredient for preparing flans, dessert creams, or creamy desserts. By choosing kappa carrageenan, you will achieve a smooth and firm consistency, perfect for milk-based preparations.

A plant-based thickener? Gum arabic

Gum arabic, also known as acacia gum, is a natural thickener extracted from the sap of Acacia trees. It is particularly used to add consistency to various food preparations, such as sauces, syrups, and glazes. Its natural and plant-based composition makes it suitable for several dietary requirements. Thanks to its ability to stabilize and thicken mixtures, gum arabic is a valuable ally for pastry chefs looking for natural and plant-based solutions for their recipes.
