Introduction
Functions and Applications
Sparkling clarity .Faster setting .Faster suspending time .Good gel strength .Excellent acid/heat stability .Outstanding flavor releasing Easily combined with other hydrocolloids.
In the jelly and other water gelling products, the recommended dosage is around 0.06-0.6%.
In the sweets/candy products, the recommended dosage is around 0.06-0.7%.
In the fruit suspending or other insoluble particles, the recommended adding dosage is around 0.012-0.03%. It can also be combined with other hydrocolloids to decrease the gellan gum dosage further.

Hydration Note
Good hydration of gellan gum-LA needs high temperature of dispersion for gellan gum system, under constantly shear and heat to at least 90oC. Adding relevant alkali metal ions and cooling down, we can get different gel texture. It may need some moderate chelating agent before dissolving Gellan Gum in the hard water.
Comparing to common grade gellan Gum, Hailan Gellan Gum has good dispersion, and will not form "fisheyes", or lumps. When we put the common grade gellan gum in water-based fluid systems, fisheyes can cause a host of problems in aqueous systems, special mixin equipment and increased energy consumption. Without forming any lumps, Hailan Gellan Gum has excellent dispersion, and will offer a good solution for your products.
