About
Gel is a semi-solid network that weighs slightly more than liquid water, coming in at 8.5 ounces (241 grams) per cup.
Gel has a typical density of about 8.5 pounds per gallon (1.02 grams per milliliter), holding liquid within a microscopic structure so it does not flow. A standard US cup takes up the same volume as a cup of water while weighing slightly more at 8.5 ounces (241 grams). This makes it far denser than aerated foams, but lighter than dense kitchen ingredients like honey or corn syrup.
From Wikipedia
A gel is a semi-solid that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady state, although the liquid phase may still diffuse through this system.
