Xanthan Gum: Our Xanthan Gum is 200 mesh compared to the standard 80 mesh, this means it is finer than standard Xanthan Gum making it easier to disperse and dissolve. Xanthan Gum is a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier and foaming agent. It is mainly considered to be non-gelling and used for the control of viscosity due to the tenuous associations endowing it with weak-gel shear-thinning properties. However, when added to other hydrocolloids, gels can be produced. Xanthan Gum can be added to Agar Agar and Kappa Carrageenan to form a more stable gel. The consistent water-holding ability of Xanthan Gum may be used for the control of syneresis and to retard ice re-crystallisation (ice crystal growth) in freeze-thaw situations.

Calcium Lactate: Our Calcium Lactate is a premium quality product and an extract of Lactic Acid. It works well in the production of Caviar, pearls, spaghetti and spheres using spherification techniques. Calcium Lactate can also be used to coat fresh fruit and cantaloupes to keep them firm and extend the shelf life. It's a white non-hygroscopic salt and is a recommended source of calcium. It provides calcium salts in a soluble form to react with Alginate, Gellan or certain kinds of Carrageenan which permit gel formation without heating.

Its taste is more discreet than Calcium Chloride (salty and sometimes bitter). Calcium Lactate is recommended for all reactions of inverse spherification and reacts where Alginate and Calcium sources are intimately mixed when in a diffuse setting or full contact gelling. Calcium Lactate also works well in the production of drops, Caviar pearls and all shapes of spaghetti by immersion of an Alginate solution in a Calcium setting bath. Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Bicarbonate of Soda: Our Bicarbonate of Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) is 100% extra fine pure powder and is aluminium free. Also known as "Baking Soda", it is primarily used in cooking and baking as a leavening agent. It reacts with acidic components in batters, releasing carbon dioxide, which in turn causes expansion of the batter forming the characteristic texture and grain in pancakes, cakes, quick breads and other baked and fried foods. Acidic compounds that induce this reaction include phosphates, cream of tartar, lemon juice, yoghurt, buttermilk, cocoa, vinegar, etc. Sodium Bicarbonate can be substituted for baking powder provided sufficient acid reagent is also added to the recipe.
