1.Brief Introduction of Gellan Gum:
Gellan gum is the extra-cellular polysaccharide produced by the gram-negative bacteria pseudomonas elodea that is separated from water lily,and is one of the microbia polysaccharides full of the development prospect in ten recent years. As the emulsifier,suspension agent,thickener,stabilizer,gelling agent,
tissue culture medium,filmformer and lubricant,gellan gum has been widely used in over 20 files, such as food,
cosmetics, detergent, ceramics, petroleum exploration and coating for chemical industry, it is considered as the most advanced food additive in the world.
Low acyl gellan gum is white powder solid, with following features:
1. Anti-aging function, prevent aging and viscosity raising of starch;
2.Retains excellent flavor releasing ability;
3.Good compatibility with other ingredients,can be widely used in many formulations;
4.Excellent thermal stability and acid stability, not easy lead to enzymolysis;
5.Easy to disperse and dissolve to form a transparent solution clarified in hot water;
6.Reversibly at very low concentrations it can form a brittle gel.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.
High acyl gellan gum is light-yellow powder, with following features:
1.Excellent elasticity after gel;
2.With good dispersion and hydration characteristics;
3.Low protein response and acid stability;
4.Pseudoplastic makes food with good taste.
2.Applications of Gellan Gum:
1. As a food additive, Gellan Gum is used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer.
2. Used in soy milks to keep the soy protein suspended in the milk.
3. Used into the pet food, candy, dairy products, jam, flour product.
