Gels and jellies are both semi-solid substances that are formed by the gelling process, which involves the thickening of liquids through the use of gelling agents. Gels typically have a more rigid structure and can hold their shape, while jellies are softer and often more translucent, usually made with fruit juices and sugar combined with pectin or Gelatin. Both can be used in culinary applications, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, serving various functions from food preservation to skincare. The key difference lies in their texture and composition, where jellies tend to be more fluid compared to the firmer consistency of gels.
