SOSA Elastic – Substitute animal gelatin

Properties: very elastic gelling agent that resists freezing. (SOSA Elastic is probably the most elastic soft gelatin on the market).

Consists of: a carrageen (type of seaweed) and gum (locust bean) and maltodrextrina, among others. These two elements together allow us to obtain a gel completely transparent and elastic.

Dosage: 25-50g/kg

Use: It is important that you mix at roomtemperature and then heat to the minimum temperature of 65 ° C (best boiling), to hydrate and gel. Melting point 45 ° C.

Not recommended for: Highly acidic media – tends to breakdown (combined with SOSA GelEspessa will help with any leaking short term).

Field of application: Any liquid elaboration.

Once gelled provides an elastic fabric that can stretch and handle, even for covering surfaces. As it resists Freezing it can be placed in the freezer/frozen & defrosted or served frozen around parfait. (Jelly Arctic roll)

 It’s fun to put on a glass and then put a solid which appears to be floating on the surface.
