* '''Agar''' - [[Agar]], which is fine powder produced from red algae (of the Gelidium and Gracilaria genera), that can be mixed into cold liquids and heated to produce a gelling effect. Its gelling properties are lost if mixed with acidic ingredients. Available in 500g tubs. | * '''Agar''' - [[Agar]], which is fine powder produced from red algae (of the Gelidium and Gracilaria genera), that can be mixed into cold liquids and heated to produce a gelling effect.

* '''Algin''' - This is [[sodium alginate]] which is extracted from different species of brown algae, growing in the cold waters of all regions in the world. This is an essential element for the correct procedure of the spherification process. It is a refined powder which gels when it comes in contact with '''Calcic''' ([[calcium chloride]]). It dilutes while cold with strong agitation and comes in tubs of 500g. | * '''Algin''' - This is [[sodium alginate]] which is extracted from different species of brown algae, growing in the cold waters of all regions in the world.

It has an excellent moisture absorption capacity and is used in combination with '''Algin''' [[sodium alginate]]. It is sold on 600g tubs. | ||
* '''Citras''' - [[Sodium citrate]], which is used in spherification to produce caviars, ravioles, balloons, [[gnocchi]], pellets, mini-spheres etc, especially when the ingredients used have an excessive acidity level.

* '''Crumiel''' - Crystalised [[honey]] flakes, made from 60% [[honey]], [[sodium alginate]] and [[maltodextrin]]. Use where [[honey]] or any other sweetener is required, to give a crunchy texture to the dish. It can also be used on its own to make decorative shards.
