Description
KÄPPA – POWDERED CARRAGEENAN KAPPA
CARRAGENATE KAPPA POWDER is a fibre type carbohydrate, whose rapid gelling and firm and adaptable consistency allows for “napados”, i.e. gelled coatings of other products, to be applied to the product.
It is a type of carrageenan extracted from different varieties of red algae, especially Chondrus crispus and Gigartina.
Once gelled, it can withstand temperatures up to 70-80 ° C.
It is extremely efficient. A 400 g package is sufficient for approximately 700 servings of 100 g of vegetables.
Characteristics and applications:
- It is presented as a finely ground powder.
- It is mixed cold with strong agitation and brought to boiling point.
- The gelation is very fast. In acid media it loses part of its gelling capacity.
- Dosage to obtain gelled products: 5-10 g/l.
- Available in 400 gr. and 95 gr. packages.
