Related to Agar-Agar
Gelatin
Gelatin produces a softer, silkier set than agar and melts at body temperature, giving cream-based desserts a melt-in-the-mouth quality that agar cannot match. Use gelatin when a delicate, heat-sensitive set is the goal, and note it is not vegan. See our Gelatin converter.
Pectin
Pectin is another plant-based gelling agent, though it is used mainly for jams and jellies rather than dessert gels. Use the pectin converter when making preserves. See our Pectin converter.
