Product Advantages of Gellan Gum
Soft and Elastic Gels: Forms soft, elastic, and flexible gels, ideal for applications requiring a delicate texture. Gel texture is less brittle compared to low-acyl gellan gum.
Thermal Stability: Gels remain stable at high temperatures, making them suitable for heat-processed foods.
Acid Stability: Stable over a wide pH range (pH 3.5-8.0).
Low Usage Level: Typically used at concentrations of 0.05%-0.25% to achieve desired gelling effects.
High Transparency: Forms highly transparent gels, ideal for products requiring visual appeal.
Compatibility: Compatible with other gums (e.g., xanthan gum, carrageenan) for synergistic effects.
