Why Does Gellan Gum Separate In Beverages
Gellan gum can help stabilize beverages, but separation can still happen. Here are some practical things to check, including pH, hydration temperature, gellan gum type, dosage, and processing.
Why Does Gellan Gum Sometimes Form a Weak Gel?
Gellan gum does not always produce the same gel strength. Here are the main factors that can make a gellan gum gel weaker than expected.
How Is Gellan Gum Used in Clear Beverages?
How gellan gum can stabilize particles in clear beverages without turning the drink into a gel.
What Is the Difference Between Gelrite, Phytagel and Gellan Gum?
Gelrite and Phytagel are familiar names in plant tissue culture, but what are they actually made of?
