How Gellan Gum Works

Gellan Gum forms gels when heated and then cooled in the presence of ions such as calcium, potassium, or sodium. During cooling, the polymer chains align into a stable 3D network, resulting in firm, transparent, and heat-resistant gels.
Its ability to suspend particles makes it ideal for beverages containing pulp, cocoa, vitamins, or minerals.
