Gellan Gum Powder

What is Gellan Gum Powder?    

Feature

Forms a thermally reversible gel: Gellan gum dissolves upon heating and forms a strong, transparent gel upon cooling, with a gel strength up to 10 times that of agar. Gel properties can be precisely controlled by ion concentration (especially divalent ions such as calcium and magnesium), achieving different textures from soft to brittle.

Excellent suspension and stabilization capabilities: Effectively suspends solid particles or oil droplets at extremely low concentrations, preventing sedimentation and stratification. Its gel network structure stably encapsulates flavor substances, pigments, and active ingredients, delaying release and maintaining system homogeneity.

High acid and heat stability with low dosage: Resistant to high-temperature sterilization and repeated freeze-thaw cycles, suitable for acidic foods and products requiring high-temperature processing. Excellent cost-effectiveness.

Applications

Food Industry: Gel and Suspension: Provides a refreshing, non-sticky texture in desserts such as jellies, puddings, and gummies; stabilizes suspended fruit pulp or particles in beverages and fruit-flavored yogurts; serves as a texture modifier for plant-based cheeses and artificial meat products.

Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Used as a thickener and film-forming agent in leave-on masks and gel-based skincare products, providing a refreshing feel and long-lasting hydration; replaces CMC in toothpaste, providing a smooth paste and stable foam.

Microbial Culture Media and Pharmaceuticals: Used as a transparent solidifying agent in plant tissue cultures and microbial culture media, facilitating observation of growth status; used as a carrier for sustained-release drug formulations or ophthalmic gels, enabling controlled release.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
