Louis Francois Vegetable Gelling Agent

Louis François Vegetable Gelling Agent is a premium plant-based gelling agent designed as a direct alternative to animal-derived gelatine, making it ideal for vegetarian, vegan, and halal or kosher production environments. Formulated from a blend of plant-based hydrocolloids, it delivers a reliable, consistent gel with properties closely resembling those of traditional gelatine — making it one of the most versatile and accessible plant-based gelling solutions available to professional chefs and patissiers.

Unlike agar agar, which produces a firmer, more brittle gel, Louis François Vegetable Gelling Agent is specifically formulated to produce a softer, more elastic gel that more closely mimics the mouthfeel and texture of gelatine-set desserts. It is suitable for a wide range of applications including mousses, panna cottas, jellies, glazes, and moulded desserts.

Key benefits:

• 100% plant-based — suitable for vegetarian, vegan, halal, and kosher applications
• Softer, more elastic gel than agar agar — closer to traditional gelatine in texture
• Consistent, reliable setting performance across a wide range of applications
• Ideal for mousses, panna cottas, jellies, glazes, and moulded desserts
• Clean flavour — does not interfere with the taste of your creations
