Gellan gum E418 is a high-performance microbial polysaccharide widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and texturizer. As a food-grade hydrocolloid, gellan gum delivers exceptional texture control, creating firm, elastic gels or fluid, stable suspensions depending on formulation requirements. Gellan gum E418 provides reliable gel formation across wide pH ranges (3.0-8.0) and temperature conditions, maintaining stability in both hot-fill and cold-set applications.
Gellan gum E418 is available in low acyl and high acyl types, offering flexible texture control ranging from firm, brittle gels to soft, elastic structures. It demonstrates strong stability across a wide pH range and under thermal processing conditions, making it suitable for both hot and cold applications. Its ability to suspend particles and prevent sedimentation makes gellan gum E418 particularly effective in beverages and complex liquid systems.
