Introduction
Gellan gum is a polysaccharide hydrocolloid produced by the microorganism Sphingomonas Paucimobilis and Corn Starch with plant origin, under fermentation processing from a carbohydrate source (Edible glucose) and Nitrogen Souce (Plant Protein). Deacylation is carried out by treating the product with alkali. Appearance of Low Acyl Gellan Gum is white fine powder.
Biogum Gellan BJ-GE102N Type low acyl gellan gum , is transparent when dissolving in water by heating to 65 ℃. With help of ions like K+, Na+, Ca++, Mg++, gellan gum could form a strong suspension net keep the insoluble particles in beverages suspending.
Due to the special property of suspension ability and low viscosity, gellan gum would not influence the mouth feel of beverages even the lifting power is strong and heat + acid stable.
When use K+ or Na+ ions to release the suspension ability, it’s heat-reversible, means, when heating again, the stabilizing system would be damaged. While if you use Ca++ or Mg++ ions to help stabilizing system, the suspension is heat-irreversible, meaning even you heat the solution again by high temperature sterilization, the stabilizing system would keep originally like what it formed at the beginning.
The recommended dosage is 0.012-0.035%.

Applications
Biogum Gellan BJ-GE102N TYPE Low Acyl Gellan Gum is targeted for stabilizaing applications in clear suspension beverages like basil seeds, aloe vera, nata de coco, fruit cubes, chia seeds beverages.
This type of gellan gum is a low acyl gellan gum with ultra-high transparency and ultra heat / acid stable lifting power.
The recommended amount is 0.012-0.035%.
Advantages
Plant Origin
High transpancy.
Heat-irreversible；
Low viscosity;
Acid Stable.
Low Dosage Level
Usage
01.
Dosage : Regular recommended dosage is 0.012%-0.03%
02.
Disolving: Gellan Gum dissolve in water with no kations by heating. So Calcium Slats should be added only after dissolving of gellan gum.
03.
Suspension : the suspension system released under help of ions( Ca++ is strongly advised; K+ and Na+ also ok)
04.
Setting Temperature is advised to be below 30℃ or even lower to 23℃
