Frequently asked questions
Can Wax Concept replace gelatin in a ganache?
No, it is not a gelling agent but a thickening and coating agent that structures the fat phase without creating a gel. To gel a preparation, use a dedicated gelling agent such as agar-agar.
Can Wax Concept be used cold?
Yes, it is thermoreversible and can be incorporated cold into certain already-rich mixtures, although heating to melt the wax produces a more homogeneous preparation.
What dosage should be used for well-structured flavored butter?
From 0.5 to 3 g of Wax Concept per 100 g of preparation: the higher the dosage, the firmer the resulting structure.
