Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if my gel made with Kappa Gum has syneresis?
Syneresis is a natural characteristic of some gels, especially when Kappa Gum is used. To reduce this effect, adjust the dosage or combine with other ingredients that improve water retention.
Can I use Kappa Gum in acidic recipes?
Yes, although the acidity could influence the firmness of the gel. It is advisable to adjust the dosage according to the pH of the liquid you are gelling.
Can I use Kappa Gum in cold liquids?
No, Kappa Gum is insoluble in cold water. It needs to be heated to 90°C to dissolve and begins to gel at temperatures below 60°C.
Is Kappa rubber suitable for oily media or oils?
No, Kappa Gum is insoluble in vegetable oils or organic solvents, so it is not suitable for formulations in fatty media.
