Our Product Range

Gellan gum is divided into two types, high acyl gellan gum and low acyl gellan gum form, which are distinguished by their polysaccharide
content, the percent substitution of o-acetyl functional groups, and/or the protein content (including nucleic residues and other organic nitrogen sources) (JECFA, 1990).

HA Gellan Gum Properties

High Acyl Gellan Gum is white to tan powder with lighter density compared with low acyl gellan gum.
The setting temperature for gelling for High Acyl Gellan Gum is 50C-60C and the gels are elastic.
High Acyl Gellan Gum is not so sensitive to Calcium ions so it could be pre-mixed with kations.
Solutions made by High Acyl Gellan Gum is not transparent as Low Acyl Gellan Gum but it is protein stable.

Gellan Gum Structure

The molecular structure of gellan gum is a straight chain based on repeating glucose, rhamnose and glucuronic acid units.
In its native, or high acyl form, two acyl substituents --- acetate and glycerate are present.
Both substituents are located on the same glucose residue and, on average, there is one glycerate per repeat and one acetate per every two repeats.
The high acyl form produces soft, elastic, non-brittle gels.
