Gellan gum (Zibogel®)

What is Gellan gum (Zibogel®)

Deosen offers various grades of gellan gum : Zibogel HAE (Gel Strength of 400-700g/cm2), Zibogel HAPE (Gel Strength of Min 650g/cm2), Zibogel LA (Gel Strength of Min 850g/cm2). Gellan gum is one of the most promising microbial polysaccharides in recent years, it is a microbial metabolic gum which can be widely used in the food industry. Gellan gum has been widely used as emulsifer, suspending agent, thickener, stabilizer, geling agent, tissue culture medium, film-forming agent in food, beverages, cosmetics industry helping in improved product quality and reduced costs.

In 2021, Deosen launched a new product - High acyl gellan gum. High acyl gellan gum is a white to cream-colored powder with a unique fragrance of the fermented product. It has a unique soft and elastic gelling property, as well as thickening and stabilizing effects. At low concentrations high acyl gellan gum has good rheological properties and it can play a good suspending effect.

Low acyl gellan gum is a polysaccharide colloid gel which is obtained by biological fermentation, which has the advantages such as: low dosage, high transparency, strong-aroma releasing ability, acid resistance and alkali resistance. The gel of low acyl gellan gum is a brittle gum that is very resistant to shearing forces. lt is sensitive and melts in your mouth.
