Who is Louis Francois?
Louis FRANÇOIS was born in 1882. A self-taught inventor, he developed a passion based on the researches of Louis Pasteur and other well known scientists at this time. He constructed a laboratory in Paris and founded his company in 1908.
 
He soon took an active interest in preservation, texture and emulsion issues that were to be applied in various food applications.
 
Consequently he developed a great number of specialities based on natural products: agar agar, arabic and tragacanth gum and egg powder, that finally have found their applications in the art of cooking.

Agar Agar
Agar-Agar Powder is a gelling agent made from red algae. Odourless and neutral in flavour, it is often used as a vegetarian alternative to gelatine for thickening and stabilising. Agar-Agar Powder dissolves easily in liquids. After boiling and cooling, liquids containing agar-agar set into a hard, brittle gel. Ideal for jellies, pastries and desserts. Not advisable to use with products that are acidic, or have high alcohol contents.

Inulin
Inulin is a naturally occurring water-soluble fibre that can come from different plants.
It is contained in the root and constitutes a reserve of resources for the plant in case of need. Louis François makes it from chicory.This culinary aid has a gelling and emulsifying effect. Odourless and with a very slightly sweet taste, it brings lightness and smoothness to pastries or breads. Its use makes it possible to reduce the dosage of fat and sugar, thus reducing the calorie intake in a recipe.

Yellow Pectin
Yellow pectin is a gelling agent for jellied fruits and gelified sweets, rich in sugar (over 76%) and acids (pH between 3,2 and 3,5), which leads to the addition of citric or tartaric acid. The Jelly obtained is irreversible, the final texture is quite firm and not very fondant.
This gelling agent cannot be melted or reset through heating. Great for jellies, patisseries, and fruit gums or candies.

Pectin x58
The Pectin x58 is a blend of food additives used as a texturant. It is a thickener and/or gelling agent (in presence of calcium) particularly suited to the manufacture of gelling glazings at a dosage of 1 to 1.50% according to the formulation and to the required texture. 

For use in fruit glazes:

• Use 0.8-1.5g per kg of finished product (or 0.8-1.5% by weight).
• Premix the pectin X58 with the other dry ingredients (such as sugar).
• Mix dry ingredients into the liquid whilst stirring constantly. The pectin should be completely dissolved after 15 minutes.
• Heat the mixture to 85°C to fully activate the pectin X58.

Note: Pectin X58 is not suitable for use with dairy products or liquids with a high calcium content.
