Gellan Gum is a naturally occurring polysaccharide produced by the microorganism Sphingomonas elodea. It is a linear structure with a repeating unit of tetra saccharide. As a multi-functional gelling, suspending and thickening agent, Gellan Gum can be used individually as well as jointly with other products. Its gelling property is better than Xanthan Gum.
Gellan Gum has various product applications including in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In the food industry, it is used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener - typically in dairy products such as yogurt, desserts, and beverages. It is also used in non-dairy products such as vegan and vegetable-based products as an alternative to animal-based gelatins. Its popularity stems from its ability to maintain stability over a wide range of pH levels, and its resistance to heat, acid, and enzymes.
Compared with other colloids, Gellan Gum has many peculiar advantages:
1. Low dosage.
2. Excellent temperature and acid stability.
3. Good taste releasing ability.
4. High transparency.
5. Adjustable gel elasticity.
6. Good combinability
