Molecular cuisine consists in the use of ingredients through techniques derived from the physical or chemical properties of food. The result of its use are surprising changes in the shape or texture of food, but without affecting the taste.
Molecular cuisine has created an avant-garde style by bringing together flavors and textures that surprise the palate. Most likely, while preparing a dessert or other dish, you applied these concepts without realizing it. Today it is possible to access certain techniques and products that allow you to apply these innovative trends in any kitchen.
Agar Agar, also known as Japanese gelatine, is mainly known in Asia. There it is highly appreciated for its high gelling capacity. Since half a teaspoon of agar agar corresponds to about four sheets of gelatine, it is a lot more productive.
Historical background:
Agar Agar is obtained from certain red sea algae that grow mainly off the coast of Japan and have long been used for cooking in this country. Once, it is said, a Japanese woman threw food leftovers outside, which thawed after freezing in the cold night and during the day in the warm sun. A delicate jelly had formed.
Use:
Agar Agar is insoluble in cold water. Only at temperatures above 80° C is complete solution obtained. When it cools down, a gel forms. Agar Agar belongs to the polysaccharides with the strongest gel formation capacity (limit concentration around 0.5%). The temperature at which gel formation occurs (35-39°C) is far below the melting temperature of the gel (80-90°C), which distinguishes it significantly from all other gel-forming polyaccarides.
Golden Peanut Apple Pectin belongs to the group of vegetable gelling agents. Pectin is mainly obtained from dried apple pomace and lemons, but is also found in sugar beet, raspberries, currants, quinces and other fruits. Pectin is rich in fibre, but almost free of calories. It is suitable for preserving jam or jelly. Because the gelling process begins quickly when APfelpektin is used, the fruit does not need to be heated unnecessarily for long and valuable vitamins are retained. Just like agar agar, pectin cannot be used in a cold state.
Applications:
Manufacture of jams and jellies
Manufacture of ice cream
Preparation of saturated beverages
Production of cake glaze
Application example for a cake glaze:
Mix approx. 100 ml fruit juice with a little lemon juice and sweeten as desired. Bring the mixture to the boil and stir in about 4 g Golden Peanut Apple Pectin. Spread the cake glaze evenly over the pastry.
Arrowroot starch was originally extracted from the tropical arrowroot tuber from the rainforests of Brazil and has many uses. The South American Arawak people are even said to have used the starch flour to treat wounds caused by poisoned arrows. Today, the arrowroot species are native to the warm and humid tropics to subtropics of South and Central America, southern Mexico, the Caribbean islands and Central America to South America.
The genus Maranta was listed by Carl von Linné in the 16th century in honour of the Italian botanist, physician and writer Bartolomeo Maranta (1500-1571). This is how the arrowroot got its name, the Maranta family.
The snow-white, gluten-free Paleo flour, also known under the English name "arrowroot", is particularly popular in English and American cuisine due to its purity and high binding quality. Unlike tapioca starch, arrowroot starch has no flavour of its own.
Arrowroot flour is particularly good at binding casseroles, soups, sauces as well as puddings, jellies, jams, groats, couvertures and glazes that must not be allowed to boil because, unlike corn or potato starch, it thickens at lower temperatures.To ensure that the arrowroot powder binds without lumps, it should first be mixed with a little cold water until smooth. Recommendation: Stir 2-3 tbsp. arrowroot flour into 2-3 tbsp. cold liquid. Then stir the mixture into the simmering liquid to be bound with a whisk. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the desired consistency is reached.
Corn or potato starch often clouds the dishes after setting. Arrowroot starch, on the other hand, binds sauces, soups and jellies very clearly and leaves no taste of its own. Moreover, arrowroot flour binds about twice as strongly as wheat flour. The fine starch is also excellent as breadcrumbs.
To give baked goods an airy structure, you can replace 10 percent of the flour with arrowroot flour. Important: Arrowroot starch should always be combined with other binding agents, such as oils and fats, so that the baked goods remain nice and moist.
In vegan cooking, arrowroot flour also serves as an ideal egg substitute. 1-2 teaspoons of vegan vegetable cream or margarine mixed with 1-2 teaspoons of arrowroot flour until smooth is equivalent to about one medium-sized egg.
Blue Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a tiny, blue-green microalgae found in alkaline freshwaters of Mexico, Asia and South America. The alga has been around for 3.5 billion years and is one of the oldest organisms in the world. The precious ingredient phycocyanin is found exclusively in spirulina and, as its most important phytopigment, gives it its bluish colour. Blue spirulina contains as much as 19 % phycocyanin, which is responsible for the strong blue colour. The antioxidant is part of the photosynthesis process and can store solar energy.In addition to its valuable blue pigment, the alga is known as a source of unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins such as vitamin B12, enzymes, and trace elements and minerals such as iron, calcium and potassium. Spirulina also has an almost complete spectrum of amino acids and thus offers all the essential components that the human organism needs to build cells and to produce hormones and enzymes. With a protein content of 60 %, blue spirulina powder is one of the most protein-rich natural products of all and is therefore also very popular with vegans and raw foodists.Spirulina has a long tradition as a food, especially in Asia. Even in early times, spirulina algae was dried and added to soups, pastries and cakes. But Blue Spirulina algae has not only become known as a food, but also as an all-natural colouring agent. Blue Spirulina is colourfast up to 70° C. However, if you do not want to do without the vitamins and vital substances of the superfood when colouring food, you should only carefully mix in the sea blue powder at the very end, during the cooling process.Our blue spirulina powder SEA BLUE with phycocyanin is tasteless, vegan, gluten- and lactose-free.

The endosperm called part of the carob tree seed contains predominantly long-chain carbohydrates, which are characteristically composed of the simple sugars mannose and galactose. This seed is called ground locust bean gum. The long-chain compounds contained can bind very large quantities of water. While locust bean gum is completely soluble in hot water, its enormous swelling properties come into play in cold water: even small amounts of locust bean gum turn liquids into very stable gel-like substances that are hardly sensitive to heat, acids and salts Locust bean gum also significantly increases the gelling effect of other vegetable thickeners and is therefore often used in combination. Its swelling properties ensure, for example, that turbidity substances in lemonades are kept in suspension and prevent bread from becoming "old-fashioned". Locust bean gum is obtained by the action of heat from the seeds of the locust bean tree. It is generally approved for foodstuffs. The only exceptions are untreated foods, foods that the legislator does not want to be modified by additives, and dried foods that swell when eaten.

Tapioca starch is obtained from the root tuber of the cassava plant, which is native to tropical countries. There it is also known as cassava or yuca and is consumed as a staple food, similar to potatoes here. There are numerous recipes for preparing cassava. In South America, it is peeled, then ground and left to soak. After pressing, the starchy tuber yields a flour that can be used in the same way as wheat flour, but is gluten-free. A by-product of the production of cassava flour is starch, which is called tapioca starch.Tapioca starch, which has no flavour of its own, is particularly good for thickening clear soups and sauces. It gives them a velvety consistency. Tapioca starch is mainly used in Asian cuisine, for example to make the well-known kroepoek (crab bread). If the starch is pressed through coarse sieves and then hot-dried, tapioca pearls are obtained, also known for the preparation of bubble tea.
Xanthan gum is an additive approved by the EU and is used as a binder, thickener and stabilizer in food technology. In the creative kitchen, Xanthan Gum is used in dressings and sauces to stabilize oil/vinegar emulsions due to its properties. Whether mayonnaise, tomato ketchup, mustard or dry spice mixtures, almost anything that contains oil can be stabilized with xanthan gum. Continuee Possible applications are known, for example, in confectionery to improve the freezing and thawing stability of fine baked goods (cakes, pastries, pralines, ice cream). Ice cream should look creamy, so that it can live up to its name ice cream. By using xanthan gum, the mouthfeel of ice cream can be improved, without ice crystal formation, without the use of artificially produced binders. The whole thing takes place at the molecular level and the end product is not changed but improved. Xanthan gum is highly valued in molecular cuisine for its versatile properties. Xanthan Gum is a complex polysaccharide gum obtained by fermentation of carbohydrates with a pure culture of naturally occurring xanthomonas campestris. Due to its pseudoplasticity, xanthan is suitable as a stabilizer for emulsions, suspensions and foams.
