About Blanc Gallia
Louis Francois Blanc Gallia is a professional-grade powdered egg white, spray-dried and pasteurized for maximum foaming and stabilizing performance. Made from carefully selected egg whites, it is enhanced with xanthan gum (E415) for structure and triethyl citrate (E1505) for improved foaming.
Blanc Gallia is designed for chefs and artisans who require superior volume, consistency, and stability in their whipped egg white preparations. It expands better and holds longer than standard liquid or powdered egg whites, especially in applications like meringues, macarons, mousses, and sugar confectionery. It also performs more consistently than other similar products on the market, particularly in demanding or high-volume environments.
Use:
Incorporation (Rehydration Method):
-
Pour the required amount of cold water into a mixing bowl.
-
Turn the mixer on low speed and sprinkle in the Blanc Gallia powder evenly.
-
Gradually increase the speed to medium-high.
-
Whipping takes about 10 minutes for full volume.
-
For best results, ensure the preparation is at room temperature (~21°C) before whipping.
Key Tips:
-
Oil, fat, or yolk traces will reduce expansion.
-
Media pH plays a significant role; optimal foam stability is around pH 5.5.
-
Can also be added to fresh or frozen egg whites (2–5%) to improve volume and prevent graining.
Application:
-
Macarons & Almond Biscuits: Ensures uniform meringue base with improved shell formation
-
Soft Meringues & Mousses: Stable foam structure with clean, airy texture
-
Confectionery & Sugar Work: Reliable for aerated candies, nougats, and marshmallows
-
Glazes or Finishing Foams: Smooth, glossy coatings with lasting volume
-
Vegan-Sensitive Alternatives: Allows for more precise control in mixed egg-based systems
