Gellan Gum Nutrition Facts: High Acyl vs Low Acyl (and Why the Label Looks Strange)
Gellan gum (E418) is primarily a soluble, non-digestible polysaccharide — but a commercial grade also carries moisture, nitrogen-containing material, mineral salts and possibly PHB. Full per-100 g panel for high acyl and low acyl grades, why US and EU panels disagree on carbohydrate, and what to verify on your COA

Cinogel BiotechHow to Choose Your Gellan Gum Grade: HA, LA or a Blend
A five-question framework for choosing high acyl, low acyl or a blend, with a decision table by application and the mistakes that cause grade problems.
Cinogel BiotechAcyl Content Explained: Glycerate, Acetate and Gel Texture
What acyl groups are, why two small substituents change gel texture so dramatically, how acyl content is measured, and why low acyl is a spectrum.
Cinogel BiotechWhat Is Low Acyl Gellan Gum?
Low acyl gellan gum is the firm and versatile form of gellan gum, widely used for clear gels, plant tissue culture, microbiology, structured foods and applications where strong gel strength and transparency are important.
Cinogel BiotechWhat Is High Acyl Gellan Gum?
High acyl gellan gum is the softer and more elastic form of gellan gum, widely used for beverage stabilization, suspension and applications where a flexible gel or smooth texture is needed.
Cinogel BiotechHigh Acyl vs Low Acyl Gellan Gum
High acyl and low acyl gellan gum can produce very different gel textures and behave differently in practical applications.
