Gelification
Extracted from a type of red algae (of the Gelidium and Gracilaria genera), AGAR is a gelling agent used in Japan since the 15th century. In 1859, it was introduced to Europe as a characteristically Chinese food, and at the start of the 20th century it began to be used in the food industry. It is a source of fiber and can form gels in very small proportions. It can be used to make hot gelatins.
Characteristics:
- Presented in a refined powder.
- Mix while cold and bring to a boil.
- Gelification is fast.
- Once gelled, it can withstand temperatures of up to 80 °C (hot gelatin).
- Allow it to rest for correct gelification.
- In acidic mediums, it loses part of its gelling capacity.

Gelification
A very recently discovered (1977) gelling agent obtained from the fermentation of Sphingomonas elodea bacteria. Depending on the production method, there are two different types of gellan. This sample is firm gellan. Gellan allows us to obtain a firm gel that slices cleanly and withstands temperatures of 90 °C (hot gelatin).
Characteristics:
- Presented in a refined powder.
- Heat to 85 °C, then allow to cool to achieve the gelifying effect.
- It loses its gelling capacity in concentrated saline solutions

Gelification
A gelling agent extracted from a type of red algae (mainly from Chondrus and Eucheuma genera). It is a carrageenan, a name originating from Carragheen, Ireland, where these algae have been used for more than 600 years. In the mid 20th century, this “Irish moss” started to be produced industrially as a gelling agent. Kappa produces a gel with a firm, brittle texture.
Characteristics:
- Presented in a refined powder.
- Mix while cold and bring to a boil.
- Its rapid gelification allows us to cover an ingredient.
- Once gelled, it can withstand temperatures of up to about 60 °C.
- In acidic mediums, it loses part of its gelling capacity.
