Heating alginate beads

As you have been involved in the Modernist Cuisine project, maybe you can answer be one a couple of questions related with alginate beads.

In page 184 of volume 4 of MC, concerning the alginate beads, it is said:

Heating the beads to 85ºC / 185ºF for 10 minutes or more stops the setting process and keeps the centers liquid.

Please, can you give some more information. Particularly:

How do you heat the beads? After removing and washing them and in water?

Can you explain why this happens?

Thank you

Someone should revive this thread, as I'm very curious to learn about this idea and technique!

Thanks. I did the same, but it didn´t prevent them from getting solid.

I place them into a bowl of warm water to bring them up to temperature after washing.
