Enhances Texture in Sauces & Dressings: Provides a smooth, thick consistency in salad dressings, sauces, and gravies while preventing ingredient separation. It’s a great natural alternative to synthetic thickeners.
Prevents Ice Crystallization in Frozen Foods: Used in ice creams and sorbets, it helps retain smoothness and prevents unwanted crystallization, ensuring a creamy and consistent texture.
Perfect for Spherification & Molecular Gastronomy: A key ingredient for reverse and direct spherification, Sodium Alginate helps create liquid-filled spheres with a thin gel membrane, widely used in modernist cooking.
Easy to Use: Dissolves in cold liquids with blending. For spherification, mix with the liquid base and use with a calcium solution for gel formation. In sauces, use approximately 0.5–1% by weight to achieve desired consistency.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture to prevent clumping and maintain its thickening properties.
