Words from The French Pantry

Iota carrageenan (E407) is a texturizing agent. It gels in the presence of calcium and, ideally, dairy proteins. It also works with plant proteins at a higher dosage.

It forms an elastic gel that recovers its viscosity after mixing, and is thermoreversible and freeze-stable.

Applications
Crème brûlée, panna cotta, crémeux, flan

Properties
Soft gel, freeze-resistant, thermoreversible

Dosage and use

  • 3 to 10 g per kg (0.3% to 1%).
  • Soluble in hot water; gelling occurs on cooling.
  • Filling at a lower temperature (50 to 70°C) gives a thicker texture.
  • Works in water, dairy or fruit-based preparations as long as some calcium is present.
