Gellan Gum CAS 71010-52-1

Gellan Gum is positioned in industrial supply as a high-performance hydrocolloid produced via microbial fermentation, widely used for its ability to form gels and stabilize dispersed systems at low dosage levels. It is commonly applied in food and beverage formulations, as well as in certain industrial systems requiring rheology control and suspension stability.

In commercial supply, Gellan Gum is typically provided as a free-flowing powder, available in different functional types (such as high-acyl or low-acyl forms) depending on application requirements. It is used as a formulation ingredient rather than a reactive chemical. Standard export packaging is available, along with supporting documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS for procurement and formulation development.

Physicochemical Properties

Item	Description
Appearance	Off-white to light yellow powder
Odor	Neutral or slight characteristic odor
Solubility	Dispersible in cold water; dissolves upon heating
Gel Formation	Forms gels in presence of cations (e.g., calcium, magnesium)
Viscosity	Provides low to moderate viscosity depending on type and dosage
pH Stability	Stable over a wide pH range
Thermal Behavior	Thermally reversible or stable gel depending on acyl type
Moisture Sensitivity	Hygroscopic; should be protected from moisture

Typical Applications

Food and beverage formulations: Used as a gelling and stabilizing agent in dairy, plant-based drinks, desserts, and confectionery systems.
Suspension stabilization: Helps maintain uniform dispersion of insoluble particles in beverages and liquid systems.
Texture modification: Applied in formulations requiring controlled gel strength and mouthfeel.
Industrial formulations: Used in specialty systems requiring rheology control and stabilization.

Application selection (high-acyl vs. low-acyl types) should be evaluated based on desired texture and processing conditions.

Packaging

Gellan Gum is supplied as a powder and packed in sealed, moisture-resistant packaging to maintain product stability. Typical formats include multi-layer paper bags with inner liners or fiber drums suitable for food and industrial ingredients.

Packaging is designed to protect against moisture absorption and contamination during storage and transport. Bulk supply and palletized shipment can be arranged depending on order volume.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and maintain flowability.

Avoid exposure to humidity and direct sunlight. Maintain package integrity during storage and transportation.

FAQ

Is documentation available for procurement?
COA, TDS, and SDS can be provided for quality and formulation reference.

What is the main function of Gellan Gum?
It is used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent in various formulations.

What is the difference between high-acyl and low-acyl Gellan Gum?
High-acyl types produce softer, elastic gels, while low-acyl types form firm and brittle gels.

In what form is Gellan Gum supplied?
It is typically supplied as a free-flowing powder.

Is Gellan Gum suitable for beverage applications?
Yes, it is widely used for suspension stabilization in beverage systems.

What should be considered during storage?
It should be kept dry and sealed to avoid moisture absorption.
