Texturas Gellan 400g

Texturas Gellan, Gelling Agent.

Gellan is a recently discovered gelling agent obtained from the sphingomonas elodea bacteria. It allows us to obtain a firm gel that slices cleanly and withstands temperatures of 70°C (hot gelatine).

• Typically used as a stabilizer and thickener.
• It is sold as a refined powder which when mixed with the required ingredient, heated to 85°C then allowed to cool allows you to make a rigid, firm gel which slices cleanly.
• The product has excellent stability, high gel strength, heat stable, sparkling clarity and outstanding flavor release.
• Can be used in any kind of preparation where you want to obtain a gelling texture such as bakery fillings, dessert gels, icings and frostings etc.
