Product Description:

Gellan Gum CAS 71010-52-1 is a white or off-white powder. It is soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol. Gellan Gum includes low acyl Gellan Gum and high acyl Gellan Gum. Gellan Gum is widely used in food production industry such as juice drink, cheese or milk and meet production. It mainly works to make these liquid foods more intense and strenthen the taste, etc.

Application:

Gellan Gum is used for food ingredients to intense the liquid food material. Low acyl Gellan Gum paly a role of thickner of production in the drinks such as plant juice.High acyl Gellan Gum could strength the viscosity of food such as yorghurt. Low acyl and high acyl Gellan Gum can be used in both food industry and pharmaceutical industry.
