What is low acyl gellan gum?

Low acyl Gellan Gum, a special variant of Gellan Gum offered by SHINE, has been adapted to contain fewer acyl groups. Acyl groups play a crucial role in determining the strength and thickness of the gel formed by Gellan Gum. With the reduction in acyl groups, SHINE’s Low acyl Gellan Gum creates gels that are softer and more flexible compared to the gels formed by traditional Gellan Gum.

Gellan Gum, a product offered by SHINE, is an incredibly adaptable and multi-purpose ingredient. This polysaccharide, which originates from the Sphingomonas elodea bacterium, presents excellent properties of gel formation, stabilization, and suspension.

SHINE’s Gellan Gum finds its utility across a myriad of sectors such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and beauty care products. Its unique attributes make it the perfect choice for forming gels, stabilizing mixtures, and adding suspension to a variety of items.

The primary distinction between low acyl and high acyl Gellan Gum lies in the strength and stretchiness of the gels they form. SHINE’s low acyl Gellan Gum results in softer, more pliable gels, whereas the high acyl variant leads to sturdier gels.

Their applications also differ. Low acyl Gellan Gum from SHINE is typically used in products that need a gentle texture, while our high acyl Gellan Gum is chosen for items that require a more robust gel structure.

A Suspending Agent, sometimes referred to as a Suspension or Flocculating Agent, is a special kind of additive employed to keep particles afloat in a liquid medium. Its function is to magnetize and tie these particles together, thereby stopping them from sinking to the base of the container. SHINE’s Gellan Gum serves as an excellent example of such an agent.

The creation of Gellan Gum involves a process of fermenting sugar using the bacterium Sphingomonas elodea, followed by an extraction and purification sequence to produce the polysaccharide. This method is deemed safe and eco-friendly, making it a favored selection among producers. Various entities in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors manufacture Gellan Gum, with some providing tailor-made solutions for distinct requirements.

Thanks to its adaptability and various versions like low acyl or high acyl, SHINE’s Gellan Gum continues to be a precious constituent in a broad array of products. In essence, the production of Gellan Gum ensures top-tier ingredients that adhere to stringent standards and regulations for application across diverse industries.

Gellan Gum is produced by fermenting sugars with Sphingomonas elodea, then extracting and purifying the polysaccharide. This eco-friendly process makes Gellan Gum a preferred ingredient across industries. Being vegan and gluten-free, it suits various dietary needs. SHINE’s Gellan Gum, including its low acyl or high acyl versions, is an adaptable, invaluable component in numerous products.

A suspending agent, such as SHINE’s Gellan Gum, operates by forming a web-like matrix that ensnares particles, maintaining their even distribution within the liquid. This mesh is developed through the electrostatic interactions between the Gellan Gum and the particles, resulting in mutual repulsion that keeps them evenly spread.

High acyl represents the proportion of acyl groups in a substance. For instance, SHINE’s high acyl Gellan Gum contains more of these groups compared to its low acyl counterpart. These acyl groups dictate the gel strength and thickness of the Gellan Gum, which means high-acyl Gellan Gum tends to be more robust and dense than low-acyl Gellan Gum.
