Synergy with other hydrocolloids 5. Stable to PH ( ph2-12 ) 6. Stable to heat (25ºC~120ºC) 7. Stable to high sheer stress 8. Super supension 9. Easy pouring in high viscous fluid
Application
Gellan gum is used primarily as a gelling agent, alternative to agar. As a food additive, gellan gum is used as thickeers, enmulsifier. It is used in soya milks to keep the soy protein suspended in the milk.
Gellan gum is used mainly in the food industry as an anti-settling agent, thickeners, stabilizer or to structure prepared foods.
