Gellan Gum E418 E Number: E418 | CAS No.:71010-52-1 Supplier

Gellan Gum, E418, CAS No.: 71010-52-1, Gellan gum is a beige dry powder with no special taste and smell. It has good heat and acid resistance and high stability to enzymes. It is insoluble in non-polar organic solvents and cold water, but it can be dispersed in water with a little stirring, and it can be dissolved into a transparent solution after heating. After cooling, it forms a transparent and solid gel. Soluble in hot deionized water or a solution of low ionic strength in the presence of an integrant, the aqueous solution is neutral. Due to the superior gel performance of gellan gum, it has gradually replaced the use of agar and carrageenan. Gellan gum is widely used in food, such as pudding, jelly, sugar, beverages, dairy products, jam products, bread fillers, surface smoothing agents, candies, sugar coatings, seasonings, etc. It is also used in non-food industries, such as microbial culture medium, slow release of drugs, toothpaste, etc.
