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.

Spherification
A natural product extracted from brown algae (of Laminaria, Fucus, and Macrocystis genera, among others) that grow in cold water regions of Ireland, Scotland, North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc.
Depending on the part of the algae that has been refined, the texture and Calcic reactivity of each alginate varies. For this reason, we have selected Algin as the ideal product for achieving Spherification with guaranteed results.
Characteristics:
- Presented in a refined powder.
- Gels in the presence of Calcic.
- Dilutes while cold with strong agitation.
- It need not be heated to produce Spherification.

A product made from sodium citrate, obtained mainly from citrus; it is usually used in the food industry to prevent darkening of cut fruits and vegetables. It has the property of reducing the acidity of foods, and using it makes it possible to achieve spherical preparations with strongly acidic ingredients. Dissolves easily and acts instantaneously.
Characteristics:
- Presented in a refined powder.
- Highly water soluble.

Spherification
This product is a calcium salt traditionally used in the food industry, for example in cheese making. Calcic is essential in the reaction with Algin that produces Spherification. It is the ideal reactant for its high water solubility, considerable calcium content, and consequently great capacity for producing Spherification.
Characteristics:
- Presented in granules.
- Highly water soluble.
- Great moisture absorption capacity.

Thickeners
In the kitchen products for thickening sauces, creams, juices and soups have always been used. Starches and flour are the traditional thickeners, but the disadvantage is that a large quantity has to be added, which affects the final taste.
With the Thickeners family we present Xantana, a new product which can thicken kitchen preparations using a minimum quantity and without distorting the initial taste characteristics.
