What would be a good substitute for gum Arabic?
Where can you purchase different gelatin blooms? My purveyor only carries 120 silver.
Which confectionery application are you looking to replace gum arabic in? There are an array of hydrocolloids that can replace gum arabic but it depends on the application which will also depend on the usage rate.
I believe 120 bloom is actually titanium, silver is typically around 170 bloom. We purchase our gelatin through Modernist pantry or Chef rubber.

Do I need to use gelatin blooms, or can I use powdered gelatin?
Is there a way to modify the first three recipes to not use gelatin? I'd like to attempt to make vegan versions. In the past, I have had success making softer more palatable gels with a combo of .15% agar-agar, .10% xanthum gum, and .05% locust bean gum, held at 202 F for several minutes.
Maybe you can use Agar-Agar, it’s a gelatin obtained from red seaweed.
is there any way that i could make these chewy candy more easier and be a homy feeling to it...???
This comment is crazy old, but I'd just like to say that I've got away with powdered gelatine so far. I've had a bit of trouble getting things to dissolve correctly, but it's nothing a little creativity couldn't solve.
In the description of the two types of starches, it says that amylopectin starches are non-gelling. It then goes on to explain that a waxy corn starch is cultivated by a crop that produces nearly all amylopectin. I'm just wondering if the starch is non-gelling, what kind off effect does it have in the application of candy-making?
I'm using 170 bloom gelatin instead of 140 because it's organic and converting it based on the formula given by chefsteps. When I mix everything at the end when making the starburst style candy I keep getting a hard snake of gelatin even if it was gel like when I squeezed it out of the zip lock baggie. Can anyone give me any advise on how to get the gelatin to mix properly?
What happen if I use 240 Bloom gelatins instead of 140 Bloom ??
Okay
How I can start
How I cn study
Use less gelatin.
were are the measurements??
