Gellan gum (E418) is a bacterial exopolysaccharide, prepared commercially by aerobic submerged fermentation from Sphingomonas elodea (previously called Pseudomonas elodea), in a manner similar to xanthan. Discovered in 1978, 1988 Approved in Japan, 1992 USA full approved.
Compared with other colloids, Gellan Gum has many peculiar advantages:
1. Low dosage;
2. Excellent thermal and acid stability;
3. Good taste-releasing ability;
4. High transparency;
5. Adjustable gel elasticity and rigidity;
6. Good combinability.
