Pro Pannacotta (Iota) is a vegetable gelling agent extracted from red algae, designed to create soft and elastic gel textures. The gel formed becomes fluid when agitated and recovers its original gel structure once at rest. Its gelling capacity is enhanced in liquids containing calcium, making it particularly suitable for creamy and delicate preparations.
Use
Ideal for the production of creamy desserts such as custards, pannacottas and puddings without the use of eggs. Its ability to create drinkable gels also opens possibilities for innovative beverages and liquid desserts. Pro Pannacotta (Iota) is additionally suitable for royales and preparations requiring a smooth, velvety and stable texture.
Mix with cold liquid and heat to boiling while stirring continuously. Pour the product, previously blended with other dry ingredients, into the liquid while mixing vigorously until fully dispersed. Gelation occurs as the preparation cools between 60–70 °C. Never pour liquid directly onto the powder.
