Zibogel®LA
Product Introduction
Low acyl gellan gum Zibogel LA is a polysaccharide gel obtained by biological fermentation. It has the advantages of low dosage, high transparency, strong aroma release ability, acid resistance, and alkali resistance. Gellan gum can be widely used in various types of foods. In the food industry, gellan gum not only serves as a gelling agent, but more importantly, it can provide excellent texture and taste. The gel of low-acyl gellan gum is a brittle gum that is very sensitive to shear force and has the feeling of melting in the mouth when eaten. Gellan gum has good flavor release properties and is stable over a wide pH range. It can be used to improve food structure, physical stability of liquid nutritional products, and water-holding capacity in food cooking and storage. Gellan gum has good compatibility with other food glues to improve its stability or change its organizational structure. In addition, it can modify starch to achieve good textural characteristics and stability.
