Gellan gum (E418) is a bacterial exopolysaccharide, prepared commercially by aerobic submerged fermentation from
Sphingomonas elodea (previously called Pseudomonas elodea),Characteristic |
Efficacy |
1. Very Low dosage, form gel at 0.05-0.25% concentration |
Gellan gum is a very effective gelling agent |
2. Excellent thermal stability and acid stability |
1.Little effect to gel strength after heat sterilization 2.Its powder form allows longer term of use and long-term stability even under acid condition. |
3.Sodium or potassium irons can form thermal reversible gel, while Magnesium or calcium irons form thermal un-reversible gels |
Can be made into thermal reversible and thermal un-reversible gels |
4.Retains excellent flavor releasing ability |
Improve product quality |
5.Good combination with other hydrocolloids |
Adjustable gel elasticity and rigidity |
6.Good compatibility with other ingredients |
Can be widely used in many formulations |
7.Can form gel between pH 3.5~7.0 |
Can form high quality gels and have good gel strength in acid to neutral food formulations. |
8.Anti-aging function |
Prevent aging and viscosity raising of starch |
9.Not easy lead to enzymolysis |
Enabling flexibility in the manufacturing process, very suitable for Microbiological media and plant media. |
