How to use it. Mix agar with some sugar or other powdered ingredients, disperse it once it reaches 40°C in the liquid part, wait for 85°C and bring to cool. The gel will begin to form below 35°C. To use it, we recommend waiting until the next day. 🍮

The dosage of Agar Agar depends on the specific product and the desired effect. In general, the amount varies from 0.2% to 2% of the total weight of the product.

For an icing we recommend using 1% + 20% sugar + 2% dextrose and 10% liquid glucose

Glossy Glaze : Combine agar glaze with sugar, glucose and dextrose, then dissolve in water and boil until a hot solution is reached at 65-68 brix to be poured (the day after cooling) at a temperature of 40°C on frozen desserts. Here c the AGAR GLAZE must be at a dosage of 1 percent, because it will take quickly and form a gelled, cuttable structure once thawed and transparent and more resistant to freezing.

Gelatin for glossy fruit: makes a blend of powders (sugars and agar glaze) to be dissolved in water and boiled until a hot solution is reached at 65-68 brix to be poured at 60°C into a small jar. Allow to gel covered with foil overnight. The next day break up the gel with a spatula and apply directly to the fruit.

Here I recommend the AGAR GLAZE 0.55-0.6% dosage. Creamy, nappage-like effect ready to use from pectin.

The AGAR GLAZE being low viscosity, remains creamy, ideal for puddings and mousses, not from a hard gel but from a creamy gel.

Try it in 0.55-0.6% to 1% glazes but also try it in simple desserts such as panna cotta you will see what texture !

It has a maximum gel strength of 160 and a solubility at 80°C greater than 80 percent.
1 g of Agar Agar Glaze absorbs about 75ml of water.

Agar Agar's functionalities include thickening, stabilization, suspension, and gel formation. It also has the ability to withstand high temperatures and acidic pHs (in some cases).
