🌱 SaporePuro Agar Agar “Glaze”: Italian-Made Seaweed Gelatin! 🇮🇹

 What is Agar Agar? Agar Agar, also known as “seaweed gelatin,” is a  natural gelling agent extracted from marine algae. It is the vegan and vegetarian alternative to traditional gelatin. 

SaporePuro Agar Glaze is the ideal choice for your spreads, glazes, and piping gels. This advanced formulation offers a wide range of benefits that guarantee excellent results in the kitchen:

How do you use it? Mix the agar with sugar or other powdered ingredients, disperse it into the liquid once it reaches 40°C, wait until it reaches 85°C, then cool. The gel will begin to form below 35°C. For use, we recommend waiting until the following day. 🍮

The dosage of Agar Agar depends on the specific product and the desired effect. In general, the quantity ranges from 0.2% to 2% of the product’s total weight.

For a glaze, use 1% + 20% sugar + 2% dextrose and 10% liquid glucose

Shiny Glaze : combine the agar glaze with sugar, glucose, and dextrose, then dissolve in water and boil until reaching a hot solution at 65-68 brix, ready to be poured (the day after cooling) at a temperature of 40°C  over frozen desserts. Here, the  AGAR GLAZE  should have a dosage of 1%, because it will set quickly and form a gelled, sliceable structure once thawed, while remaining transparent and more resistant to freezing.

Shiny Fruit Jelly: create a blend of powders (sugars and agar glaze) to dissolve in water and boil until reaching a hot solution at 65-68 brix, then pour at 60°C into a small jar. Leave it to gel, covered with plastic wrap, overnight. The next day, break up the gel with a spatula and apply it directly to the fruit.

Here I recommend  AGAR GLAZE at a dosage of 0.55-0.6%. Creamy effect, like a ready-to-use nappage made with pectin.

Since  AGAR GLAZE has low viscosity, it remains creamy, making it ideal for puddings and mousses; it does not produce a hard gel, but a creamy gel.

Try it in glazes at 0.55-0.6%, up to 1%, but also try it in simple desserts such as panna cotta—you’ll see what a texture!

1 g of Agar Agar Glaze absorbs approximately 75 ml of water.

The functions of Agar Agar include thickening, stabilization, suspension, and gel formation. It also has the ability to withstand high temperatures and acidic pH levels (in some cases).
