1. Icing and Glaze Stability
An Alternative to Agar

2. Stabilizers in Icings & Glazes
o Purpose of Stabilizers (Gelling Agents) in Icings & Glazes
– Provide structure so the glaze or icing sets properly
– Control water migration to help control sugar bloom
– Help set icing and glazes to improve processing and packaging
appearance
o Agar is considered the primary stabilizer
– Minimally contributes to the glaze viscosity for ease of
application
– Rapidly sets to form a firm gel contributing, improving water
migration control and icing retention
