Gellan gum is a multi-functional hydrocolloid produced by aerobic fermentation of a pure culture of Sphingomonas elodea. This powerful natural ingredient serves as a gelling, suspension and texturizing agent in a wide range of applications, including food, beverages, personal care, home care and more. Highly effective at a low dosage, gellan gum can create textures ranging from drinkable and refreshing to brittle and elastic. It is safe to use as a food additive with no daily intake limitation globally.
PB 301: High setting temperature, high suspension ability at low dosage without imparting heavy mouthfeel
GS 303: High gel strength at low dosage
DN 305: Low protein reactivity, excellent suspension ability
DN 306: Very low protein reactivity, excellent suspension ability
LR 100: Transparent, excellent suspension ability
GS 101: Medium to high gel strength, high transparency and high melting temperature
GS 102: High gel strength, high transparency, high melting temperature
MR 200: Optimal gelling temperature (≤ 65 °C), easy to process under high solids system with soft and elastic texture
VC 202: Optimal gelling temperature (≤ 60 °C), easy to process under high solids system
