Can i use cornstarch instead of xanthan gum ?

[@thecookinestkid401]

Hi! I know it's been months since you posted this question, and although I'm not the YTber in the video, I thought I would provide some guidance. I have used guar gum in place of xanthan gum, and it works just fine when making gel. Particularly in the 2nd recipe from Little DIY's channel. I'm looking to try locust bean gum soon and see what happens with that! Can't say I thought of cornstarch, though. Happy gelling! 😁

[@kainatrajpoot8808]

Yes you can also use chia seeds or agar agar powder

[@thecookinestkid401]

@kainatrajpoot8808 Hmmmm, do you mean ACTUAL chia seeds or could someone use ground chia? Also, I, for one, have tried to use agar agar before, the gel didn't gel up nearly as thick as needed. What do you think? Would more than a 1 to 1 ratio possibly work?

No

[@TheAloeVeraGarden]

There are some things you can do to prevent it. Use an opaque container and store in a cooler temperature. You can also add ascorbic acid to the mixture as preservative at the same time, preventing discoloration. Citric acid also will help but not as good as ascorbic acid.

[@brightgwati]

@TheAloeVeraGarden great, thank you for this information, I've been using citric acid so it's worth finding some ascorbic acid

Pectin gels differently, that's why it is often use in jams. Also, it needs to be heated to perform its function. If you want a clear gel, you can buy clear xanthan gum which is more expensive than the regular xanthan gum. You can also use carbomer which is cheap and is often used in commercial gels.
