Hi

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
