Description
Sosa Kappa Gum (Goma Kappa) is a powerful gelling agent made from carrageenan, a hydrocolloid extracted from red algae. It forms firm, brittle gels and is widely used in modern gastronomy for creating clean-textured, heat-stable gels.
Kappa gum is ideal for use with aqueous liquids and produces gels that are thermally irreversible—meaning they hold their shape when heated. It is insoluble in cold liquids, but dissolves easily in hot water (not in organic solvents or fats).
