You might want to check with David Bouley/Bouley/Danube. Bouley was in a demo with Miguel Sanchez Romera sometime last year at FCI. Bouley seemed to be pretty involved with the distribution or marketing of micri somehow in the US, iirc.

i dont understand all the fuss about that micri stuff i will give your sauces the same slimy glibbery shine as all the starches do, only acceptable in chinese cuisine ;-)

if you want a sauce go and make a roux !

if you want a coulis, use fresh fruit and a blender !

Doesn't Albert Uster have a product like this? When I was still attending L'Academie, we went next door for a demo with Susan Notter and she used some gelatinous goop in her ganache (and some other things) to make them shiny. I think it may also have prevented cracking.

Glucose will do that too.

My understanding of micri is that its best use is as an all-purpose emulsifier.
