Food grade Thickener Low Acyl/High Acyl Gellan gum CAS 71010-52-1 Gellan Gum

Product Description:

Gellan gum (also known as gellan gum) is a common food additive. It is a colloidal substance extracted from polysaccharides produced during bacterial fermentation. Gellan gum is produced by a strain of bacteria called gellan gum, which undergoes a fermentation process to produce gellan gum. The advantage of gellan gum is that it has high gelling properties and can form a stable gel structure. Gellan gum has high thermal stability and stability, gellan gum can maintain a stable gel state under different temperatures and acid and alkali conditions.

Gellan gum also has some other special features, such as its ability to form a reversible gel, meaning it can dissolve again when heated. This makes handling easier during production. In addition, gellan gum also has good salt resistance, ion resistance and a long shelf life.

Usage method:

When using gellan gum, it usually needs to be dissolved by heating and stirring, and mixed with the other ingredients. The amount of gellan gum used depends on the desired gel strength and the characteristics of the food being prepared.

Properties:

High Acyl Vs Low Acyl Gellan Gum

Texture: Low-acyl Gellan is generally considered brittle while high-acyl Gellan is more elastic. It is possible to combine the two to create the exact desired texture.

Appearance: High-acyl Gellan is opaque, low-acyl Gellan is clear.

Flavor release: Good, for both varieties.

Mouthfeel: Both have a clean mouthfeel; low-acyl Gellan has been described as "creamy" as well.

Freeze / Thaw stable: High-acyl Gellan is freeze/thaw stable. Low-acyl Gellan is not.

Syneresis (weeping): Generally not.

Shearing: Creates a shear-thinned gel, otherwise known as a fluid gel.

Application:

Gellan gum is widely used in the food industry as a stabilizer, gelling agent and thickening agent. It can be used to prepare a variety of food products such as jellies, gelled confections, frozen products, pastries, pastry fillings, cheeses, beverages and sauces. It is a functional ingredient that improves the stability, taste and texture of food products.
