I don't have the book yet.  If the solute exclusion zone (EZ) near the surface 
of a gel is structured as described in the lecture video, then it should be 
optically anisotropic and visibly detectable with polarized light.  Does the 
book say anything about that?

I just heard that there are other simple demonstrations!  See the
descriptions on this page:

  Liquid crystalline water discovered at interfaces
