Bubble Tea – Fancy fruit pearls with VIVAPUR® Alginate

Summer is in full swing and you are craving a refreshing drink? How about some Bubble Tea with various fruit pearls prepared by yourself? VIVAPUR® Alginate is one of the key ingredients in molecular cuisine. The production of alginate pearls poses no limits to your imagination. Almost all types of liquids can be converted into liquid-filled pearls, resulting in an extraordinary mouthfeel. You just need to dissolve a powder mix of sodium alginate and other dry ingredients in juice and let the liquid rest to allow all air to escape. The prepared solution is then dripped into a bath of calcium chloride or calcium lactate which forms the pearls immediately. Depending on the type of VIVAPUR® Alginate and the resting time in the setting bath, pearls with varying firmness can be produced – either completely solid or with a liquid core.
