Gellan gum, having a good water retention and elasticity. It can endow food with pleasant texture and tastes, it exhibits good flavor release characteristics. High acyl gellan gum can usually be used in combination with other food colloids which can obtain the best sensory, texture, and stability. Although gel-type food glues such as carrageenan and agar have similar gel characteristics to gellan gum, high-acyl gellan gum has advantages in flavor release, acid stability, thermal reversibility, anti-aging, and application dosage.
