  • Sosa Ingredients
  • Calcium gluconate and lactate
  • Reagent that forms a stable gel in association with alginate or xanthan gum.
  • Allows the production of spheres.
  • Gluco is formed from calcium gluconalactate, a mixture of two calcium salts (calcium gluconate and calcium lactate) which gives a product rich in calcium. Ideal for the reverse spherification technique, it does not add any taste to the food being processed.
  • Allergens: No allergens
  • Dosage: 20g/kg
  • 500g jar

  • Vegetarian*
  • Vegan*
  • Gluten-free
  • Kosher*
Mixture of two salts that allow us to integrate calcium into a medium without adding tastes.
It helps us to provide enough calcium to a liquid to react with alginate and make spherifications.
  • Properties: Enriching calcium
  • Use: Mix with the product to be enriched.
  • Use: Mixtures for reverse spherifications low in calcium.
  • Remarks: Without any taste.
  • Elaborations: Reverse spherification.
  • Allergens: No allergens

Production of spheres: Gluco is formed from calcium gluconalactate, a mixture of two calcium salts (calcium gluconate and calcium lactate) which gives a product rich in calcium. Ideal for the reverse spherification technique, it does not add any taste to the food being processed. In the food industry, calcium gluconalactate is usually used to enrich different foods with calcium. We have selected Gluco because of its excellent performance in spherification processes.

Cold soluble.
To avoid any dissolution problems, the addition of Gluco must precede that of any other powdered product. Gluco does not pose any problem in acidic, alcoholic or fatty environments.

*VEGETARIAN:
Products that do not contain ingredients of animal origin (meat, fish, seafood, etc.) or processed foods that have been in contact with products of animal origin (such as bones, for example).

They contain or may contain by-products of animal origin (egg products, dairy products, honey, gelatin, products with pigments derived from insects, etc.).

Products that contain or may contain traces of ingredients of animal origin are considered suitable for vegetarians.

*VEGAN:
Products that do not contain any ingredients of animal origin (meat, fish, seafood, etc.) or by-products derived from animal origin (egg products, dairy products, millets, gelatins, products with pigments derived from insects, etc.). Processed foods that have been in contact with products of animal origin (e.g. bones) are not considered vegan.

*KOSHER:
Products certified as Kosher food. These are foods that are permitted for consumption by a Jew, following the laws and precepts of the Jewish diet.



Spherification: Spherification is a gelling process that allows liquid contents to be enclosed in fine gel capsules, imitating caviar, pearls, etc. Its spectacular side combined with the explosion of flavor in the mouth make this innovation a classic of modern pastry and cuisine.

Direct spherification: To develop direct spherification, three baths are mainly used:

  • In the first, we put the product that we want to spherify with the Alginate. We put it in the mixer and let it rest until the air has completely disappeared. We must take into account the acidity level of the product; if the pH is less than 4, we will add sodium citrate (pH Kit) in the same bath in an adequate quantity. If we put too much, it gives the product a bad taste.
  • In the second bath, we add Chloride to the product. We will put 5 to 8g per liter, depending on the size of the sphere we want to obtain. The reaction of the Alginate occurs when it comes into contact with the Chloride bath, forming a layer that gradually gels from the outside to the inside. The longer the product is left in the bath, the more it will gel, until it is completely gelled.
  • In the third bath, water is added to rinse the spheres, mainly to remove the bad taste produced by the Calcium Chloride.




Reverse spherification: Liquids that naturally contain calcium, such as dairy products, must be reverse spherified, that is, by reversing the first two baths. The same applies to products to which Gluconolactate has been added.

We also work with three baths:

  • In the first bath, we put the product containing its own calcium or with Gluconomactate. If the product does not have the desired density, Geslespassa will be added at a rate of 6g per kilo (2g of Xanthan), in order to obtain sufficient weight so that the formed sphere can be immersed in the second bath.
  • In the second bath, put a liter of mineral water (without calcium) with 5g of Alginat.
  • In the third bath, put water alone to rinse the spheres. Thanks to the inversion of the baths, we obtain a sphere that will always remain liquid inside, since the layer that forms gels towards the outside.
