Used together with sodium alginate (Algi), it structures the gelling reaction needed to form liquid spheres inside a thin gelled membrane. Thanks to its good solubility, even in acidic, fatty, or alcoholic environments, Gluconolactate guarantees a consistent, stable result while remaining neutral in taste and smell.
✔ Essential for reverse spherification: enables the formation of liquid spheres in an alginate bath.
✔ Soluble in acidic, alcoholic, and fatty environments: ideal for a variety of preparations.
✔ Neutral in taste and smell: doesn’t alter the flavors of the spherified ingredients.
✔ Easy to use: dissolves quickly at any temperature with a blender.
✔ Usable in direct spherification: can replace calcium chloride (use 4 times the recommended amount of calcium chloride).
✔ Compatible with xanthan gum (Xtan): improves liquid density and optimizes sphere formation.
Recommended dosage & instructions
✅ 20 g/kg of liquid for reverse spherification and direct spherification (as a substitute for calcium chloride).
✅ Add cold with a blender for even dissolution.
✅ Let rest a few minutes after blending to remove air bubbles (prevents the sphere from floating in the alginate bath).
✅ Combine with xanthan gum (Xtan) for better density control and perfect sphere formation.
