Description
Gelatin 240 Bloom for stiffening foods
Gelatin 240 Bloom is an odorless and tasteless binding and thickening agent that is protein-based and therefore non-starch containing. It is obtained from collagen, which is part of the connective tissue of animals. The gelatine 240 Bloom that you can order online at Natural Spices is made from beef. The product exists in both powder and colorless leaves. At Natural Spices you can buy the powder variant online in packs of 600 grams, 1.5 kilos, 7 kilos and 25 kilos. You use the binder to make, for example, bavarois and puddings. The binder dissolves well in warm water and becomes a gel when cooled.
What does gelatin 240 Bloom do?
Gelatin 240 Bloom falls into the so-called 'clear or blind binders' category. The additive is hot and blind binding. The latter means that it keeps the liquid clear. Dissolving can be done in warm water, but also in hot milk or whipped cream. You then pour the blend into your dish that needs stiffening. As soon as the dissolved gelatine 250 Bloom cools down and reaches a temperature of between ten and fifteen degrees, it forms a gel that makes the food stiff. It takes several hours before this whole process is completed. The gelatin molecules absorb up to ten times their weight in water. Never pour the mass into the form immediately after mixing, as gelatin 240 Bloom sinks down. So first wait until the the blend starts to stiffen.
The difference between gelatin 240 Bloom and agar agar
Agar agar is a binder that is often used nowadays. In warm areas this binder has been used for a long time, because the ambient temperature there is too high for gelatin 240 Bloom. Many chefs doubt whether to use gelatine 240 Bloom or agar agar. In principle, the effect of these two additives is the same. Agar agar comes from a species of algae. Because of its vegetable origin and strong stiffening effect it is becoming more and more popular. However, it should be dosed very accurately and small differences can have major consequences. Working with agar agar is therefore a bit more difficult. You can also order agar agar online at Natural Spices.
