• Gellan gum is a microbial polysaccharide used in the food industry as a gelling, stabilizing, and suspending agent in a variety of processed foods and beverages.
• Manufacturers add it to products such as plant-based drinks, desserts, confectionery items, dairy products, and sauces to improve texture and product stability.
• It helps keep ingredients evenly dispersed, preventing separation and maintaining a consistent appearance throughout shelf life.
• In industrial food processing, gellan gum is valued because it can form stable gels and provide texture at very low usage levels.
• On ingredient labels, gellan gum commonly appears as a stabilizer, thickener, or gelling agent and is approved for regulated food use in many countries worldwide.
