It does not disperse well in acidic media.

The gel produced in calcium media is thermostable and, therefore, does not become liquid with increasing temperature.

Characteristics and applications:

  • Mix cold with strong agitation and let stand.
  • It gels in the presence of calcium. This capability makes it especially useful for spherification, producing thermosetting gels.
  • Usual dosage for basic spherification: 5-10 gr. of Algïnate/l. of food. Calcium chloride bath 5-10 g/l. of water.
  • Usual dosage for reverse spherification: 20 g Glücocal/l. of food. Algïnate bath 4-6 gr./l. of water.
