UltraGel 2 (200g) is a professional gelling agent developed by MSK to create a firm, elastic set with good flavour release. Made from a blend of red algae and seaweed, it offers chefs an easy vegan and allergen-free alternative to gelatine for sweet and savoury preparations.

Designed for chefs who want a set closer to gelatine than agar or vege-gel, UltraGel 2 gives a cleaner, more elastic bite and a more natural mouthfeel than firmer, more brittle plant-based gels. It is fast setting, easy to use, and particularly well suited to preparations where shape, flexibility, and a defined gel structure are important.

It is especially effective in clear jellies, jelly sheets, cut jellies, plated garnishes, and sweet or savoury gel components. It also works well in dipping and coating applications, including frozen mousses, pâtés, terrines, and other items that need to be coated in a thin, even jelly layer.

UltraGel 2 has a neutral flavour, allowing the main ingredients to come through clearly, while the gel itself offers good flavour release. Though thermo-reversible, it has a high melting point and remains stable at warm service temperatures without weeping. It can also be melted and reused, making it practical for both production and service.

For best dispersion, mix with sugar or UltraLin, whisk into a simmering liquid, then boil for 1 to 2 minutes to fully activate. It becomes soluble above 85°C, with a dosage of between 0.5% and 2%, depending on the required set.

Suitable for clear jellies, jelly sheets, cut jellies, plated garnishes, savoury jelly components, sweet jelly components, and dipping or coating applications requiring a firm, elastic, gelatine-style set.
