Alginato is a gelling agent, or sodium alginate, used primarily for spherification in molecular gastronomy to create gels and spheres from liquids.
It is derived from algae, is heat-sensitive, works best in liquids with a pH above 4 and more than 80% water content, and can be used for both direct and reverse spherification.
