Frequently asked questions
Why does this gum produce a more rigid gel than gellan gum?
Kappa carrageenan forms a more brittle and rigid network than gellan gum, resulting in clean-cut textures, particularly sought after in fruit paste or confectionery inclusions.
Should Kappa Gum be worked with hot or cold?
Exclusively hot: the gelling agent must be dissolved in a heated liquid to activate properly, with setting then occurring as it cools.
Can the gel withstand freezing?
No, unlike gellan gum, Kappa Gum is not recommended for preparations intended to be frozen.
