Gellan Gum
Gellan gum (E418) is a bacterial exopolysaccharide, prepared commercially by aerobic submerged fermentation from
Sphingomonas elodea (previously called Pseudomonas elodea),
in a manner similar to xanthan. discovered in 1978,1988 Approved in Japan,1992 USA full approved.
Compared with other colloids, Gellan Gum has many peculiar advantages:
1. Low dosage;
2. Excellent thermal and acid stability;
3. Good taste-releasing ability;
4. High transparency;
5. Adjustable gel elasticity and rigidity;
6. Good combinability.
Gellan gum is widely used in foods and various other fields.
(1)Typical foods prepared using gellan gum: Gelled desserts, jam, jelly, pudding, confectionery, sugarcoating of confectionery, frost of cake,
filling of cake or bread, and other foods, cakes, and pet foods.
(2) Other applications:
Microbiological media, capsules, perfumes, etc
.
