Hydration:
Model gels are produced by adding our gellan to tap water under shear, heating to 90℃, adding ions and cooling to set. Both monovalent and divalent ions can be used: K+, Na + , Ca2+ and Mg2+. Sequestrants may be required for hydration in hard water.
Comparing to common grade gellan gum, our gellan gum has good dispersion, and will not form “fisheyes”, or lumps, when we put the common grade gellan in water-based fluid systems, fisheyes can cause a host of problems in aqueous systems, including reduction and increased energy consumption.
Without forming any lumps, our gellan gum has excellent dispersion, and will offer a good solution for your products.
Quality Assurance:
Our company produces the gellan gum –AF according to ISO9001-2008, Kosher and MUI Halal approved.
Regulatory information:
The product comply with GB2760, GB25535-2010,FCC V and FAO/WHO.
