Metilgel - Thermogelling Gelling Agent - 300 g
Natural seaweed-based gelling agent that gels when exposed to heat.
Sosa Metilgel is a natural-origin powdered gelling agent made from seaweed extract. Unlike most gelling agents, it gels when exposed to heat, enabling specific applications in professional pastry.
Technical specifications
Recommended uses
- Aqueous preparations gelled when heated
- Applications requiring a freezable gel
- Recipes for repeated use (thermoreversibility)
- Technical textures in professional pastry
- Alternative to traditional gelling agents that set when cold
Please note: disperse Metilgel cold in the aqueous preparation at a dosage of 20 g/kg, then heat to trigger gelation. The preparation becomes liquid again when cooled thanks to its thermoreversibility. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
