Description
expand_moreIota carrageenan for egg-free plant-based pannacottas and creamy desserts
Sosa Iota Pro-Pannacotta is a pure Iota carrageenan (E407) extracted from red algae, a versatile texture-modifying agent: gelling agent, thickener, stabiliser and suspending agent. It produces soft, supple, elastic, thixotropic gels — meaning they liquefy under agitation and return to their original consistency at rest. This makes it the tool of choice for restaurant creamy desserts, unmoulded pannacottas and drinkable jellies. It performs better in calcium-rich preparations and is compatible with alcoholic liquids. Not suitable for freezing; the set gel withstands a service temperature of up to approximately 50°C.
