Elastic 550 g

Plant-based gelling agent for soft and elastic gels

Elastic Sosa Ingredients (reference 49570) is a professional texturizer formulated from seaweed and locust bean gum. Designed to create particularly soft, resistant, and elastic gels, this 100% plant-based gelling agent is intended for pastry chefs, chefs, and confectioners seeking innovative textures in both sweet and savory applications. Its thermo-reversibility and freeze-thaw resistance make it a versatile ingredient for contemporary creations.

Properties and Benefits

• • Distinctive texture: gels that are both soft and elastic, resistant to cutting
• • Thermo-reversible: melts when heated and regains texture upon cooling
• • Freeze-thaw resistant: maintains texture after thawing
• • Plant-based origin: alternative to animal gelatin
• • Neutral taste: does not alter the flavor or color of preparations
• • Clean label: free from artificial additives, non-GMO

Recommended Applications

• • Sweet gels: dessert inserts, fruit jellies, pearls, ravioli
• • Savory gels: aspics, terrines, flavorful pearls for appetizers
• • Confectionery and decorations: gummy candies, cut shapes, fillings
• • Contemporary pastry: freezable inclusions in desserts and Yule logs
• • Plant-based cooking: direct alternative to animal gelatin, compatible with halal and kosher diets

Instructions for Use

Mix Elastic with the other dry ingredients of the preparation to facilitate dispersion. Then pour over the chosen liquid (water, juice, infusion, broth, plant-based milk) and heat while stirring until completely dissolved. Immediately pour into molds or desired containers, then let set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Indicative dosage: 25 to 50 g per kg of liquid depending on the desired texture (soft to firm). Compatible with all types of liquids, sweet or savory.

What sets Elastic apart

Elastic stands out from other plant-based gelling agents by its dual ability to resist freezing while remaining thermo-reversible. This feature allows the gel to be used as a freezable inclusion in desserts without losing texture after thawing, unlike traditional agar agar which loses its structure.

Storage: store in a dry place (humidity below 60%), between 15 and 25 °C, away from light and odors. Reseal the jar tightly after each use.
