Sodium Alginate – 600g

✓ Reviewed by Richard Thomas

£45.83

Sodium alginate is a star ingredient in molecular cuisine, extracted from marine algae and known for its dual role: gelling agent (in the presence of calcium) and natural thickener. A key element of the spherification technique, it’s highly prized in molecular mixology and modern gastronomy for creating spectacular liquid pearls that burst in the mouth.

Description

This innovative additive opens the door to playful, creative presentations – from cocktails to desserts – without ever altering the original flavors of your preparations.

Direct & reverse spherification: Compatible with both spherification techniques, offering great flexibility for your liquid pearl creations.

Calcium activation: Gels only in the presence of calcium ions (e.g., using a calcium bath for direct spherification).

Thermo-reversible: The alginate-based gel withstands high cooking temperatures (ideal for pastry preparations that require baking).

Thickening & stabilizing: Ideal for adding consistency to many preparations (sauces, coulis, creams…) while ensuring good texture hold.

Applications in mixology and molecular gastronomy

Neutral in taste and smell: Doesn’t alter the flavor profile of recipes, allowing it to be incorporated into any type of dish or drink

Liquid pearls (spherification): Create gelled spheres filled with liquid (cocktail caviar or cocktail pearls) that burst in the mouth to elevate your cocktails and appetizers.

Sauces and creams: Stabilize and thicken your sauces, soups, or coulis to achieve a smooth, even texture, even after reheating.

Innovative pastry-making: Give hold to pastry creams, fruit jellies, or other fillings thanks to alginate’s heat resistance, for flawless tarts and entremets.

Foams & emulsions: Create light foams and airy emulsions (such as espumas) by harnessing alginate’s gelling power, which helps trap air in preparations.
