Words from The French Pantry

Agar agar (E406) is a natural texturizer extracted from red seaweed and used as a gelling agent. It forms a thermoreversible gel at 92°C that is firm, transparent and brittle.

The gel is not stable with alcohol or acidity, is not freeze-thaw stable and does not recover its structure after mixing.

It is used for gelled inserts, fillings, mousses and hot jellies in foodservice.
