Gellan Gum (CAS Number: 71010-52-1, EC Number: 275-117-5) Supplier in Europe

Physical Details and Properties
Gellan Gum, also known as PS 60, is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by Sphingomonas elodea. It appears as a white to off-white powder, forming gels when dissolved in water with cations present. Known for its thermal stability and ability to gel across a broad pH range, it is odorless with a neutral taste.

Production Methods
Our Gellan Gum is sourced from manufacturers employing advanced fermentation techniques. The process involves aerobic fermentation of Sphingomonas elodea, followed by purification via alcohol precipitation or filtration. This ensures the product meets rigorous quality standards for industrial applications.

Industrial Applications

• Food Industry: Gellan Gum acts as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in desserts, plant-based milks, and candies.
• Pharmaceuticals: It is used in controlled-release drug systems and as a suspending agent in liquid medications.
• Biotechnology: The compound replaces agar in microbiological media due to its clarity and superior gel strength.

Safety Information
Gellan Gum is deemed safe for consumption and approved by regulatory bodies. Its oral LD50 in rats exceeds 5,000 mg/kg, reflecting low toxicity. Avoid inhaling dust and store in a cool, dry place to preserve its properties.
