Description
Gelification is the process of forming thermoreversible gels using hydrocolloid polymers.
Technical
It relies on polymer network formation through thermal or ionic cross‑linking, where temperature, pH, and ion concentration control gel strength and texture. The technique exploits precise conditions to produce stable, reversible gels that are central to modernist and traditional desserts.
