Les Perles D'alginate - Cuisine moléculaire

To make beads with a gelled shell and a liquid core prepare three solutions. For the first solution add to 400 g of calcium poor water with, for example, mint syrup 2 g sodium alginate thickening and gelling agent extracted from seaweeds. Sodium alginate do not dissolve easily into the solution. It is therefore necessary either to wait a little whipping lightly the solution from time to time or to use an immersion blender. The second solution is a mixture of 200 g of water and of 2 g of calcium salt. The last solution is water Use a pipette to dispense the sodium alginate solution a drop at the time in the calcium solution. dans la solution de calcium A gelled shell forms instantly on the surface of each drop. The longer the beads stay in the calcium solution, the less liquid will be the core of the bead To keep the core of the beads liquid longuer they are immersed in water
