Description
Gelification of fruit purees involves using gelling agents to create a solid or semi-solid texture for desserts.
Technical
The process involves the use of gelatin, agar, or pectin as gelling agents, which bind water and create a network of molecules that gives the puree its solid or semi-solid texture. This process is influenced by factors such as temperature, concentration of the gelling agent, and time. The optimal temperature range for gelification is between 30°C and 35°C.
