What is the difference between Gelatin and Jelly T? Is it the same thing? Basic knowledge analysis~

What is the difference between Gelatin and Jelly T? I believe most people have heard the word Gelatin, but not the term Geely T. Are they the same material? The purpose is to use it What does it do?

If you haven't heard of these two terms, I believe you have eaten desserts such as cheese or mousse jelly.

It's amazing, right? Why do you need to add such materials to make them? In fact, they are the so-called "coagulants" in food. Let's answer them one by one.

What is Gelatin?

The word " Gelatin " is not unfamiliar to everyone. It is also called "gelatin" . It is a gelatin extracted from animal sebum or protein extracted from bone tissue, but it can also be regarded as collagen.

Because these extracts are taken from animals, they are considered meat food. Vegetarians must pay attention to them. Vegetarians must ask whether the desserts outside are added before purchasing. With a slight fishy smell.

And now the relationship between the widespread use of baking, there are two kinds of gelatin flakes and gelatin powder .

gelatin

In the earliest days, the major baking houses used it widely. The sheets were like thin sheets of paper, showing a translucent yellow-brown color. If you need to use it, you should use about 5 times the amount of water, and then soak it for about 5 minutes.

Only use ice water, remember not to soak in hot water or room temperature water, so as to avoid compatibility with water and reduce the composition of gelatin. Blend to make use.

Gelatin Powder

In fact, it is powdered gelatin, which is translucent yellow-brown powder, and its use is the same as that of gelatin tablets. In recent years, it has been widely used because of its convenience. It takes about 5 minutes to directly soak them to solidify, and then you can directly add the required ingredients for use.

The reason why the latter is widely used is that the gelatin tablet is soaked for a long time or the water is not twisted too dry, which will destroy its original ratio, but the gelatin powder will not.

The most important thing for both gelatin tablets and gelatin powder is that the temperature of the liquid to be mixed at the end should not be too high, otherwise it will affect its coagulation degree, preferably at 60 degrees.

It is a vegetable gum extracted from natural plants and algae. It must be processed to produce a white plant-based powder. Vegetarians can basically eat it. However, because each manufacturer may add or process it, you still need to look at it. List of ingredients and how to use it.

How to use the Jelly T?

Geely T, the powder must be fully mixed with sugar first, then added to the liquid to be added, and heated to above 60 degrees on a small fire until it is completely melted. Chill in refrigerator.

• Gelatin : It is animal glue. The finished product will not solidify by itself at room temperature. It can be fully combined with the cold liquid. It is suitable for mousse fillings.
• Geely T : It is vegetable glue. The finished product will gradually solidify at room temperature, so there is no way to directly add it to the cold liquid.

Gelatin will not solidify at room temperature, and can be mixed with cold liquids (such as fresh cream), which is suitable for making muesli; Geely T is a vegetable gum, which will gradually solidify at room temperature, so it is not suitable for adding ice-cold liquids. in the recipe.
