So, what is gellan?
Gellan is a food ingredient that is commonly used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in a wide range of food and beverage products. It is a type of polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Sphingomonas elodea through fermentation. Gellan has a unique ability to form a firm, elastic gel at low concentrations, making it an ideal ingredient for creating a variety of textures in foods, from creamy to firm. It is also heat-stable and can withstand a wide range of pH levels, making it a versatile ingredient for use in various applications. Gellan is often used in dairy-free products, such as plant-based milks, as well as in confectionery, sauces, and dressings.
