Audited Supplier Gellan Gum Powder
Gellan gum is a food additive typically used to bind, stabilize, or texturize processed foods. It's similar to other gelling agents, including guar gum, carrageenan, agar agar, and xanthan gum.
It grows naturally on water lilies but can be artificially produced by fermenting sugar with a specific strain of bacteria.
It's a popular replacement for other gelling agents because it's effective in very small amounts and produces a clear gel that isn't sensitive to heat.
Gellan gum also works as a plant-based alternative to gelatin, which is derived from animal skin, cartilage, or bone.
