A 2026 study investigated how gellan gum and other charged polysaccharides affect the texture, rheology, and microstructure of camellia oleosome-based meat analogs, showing how polysaccharide selection can change the structure of plant-based meat products.
Research has shown that gellan gum can modify dough rheology, bread volume, crumb structure, texture, and staling in gluten-free bread, making it an interesting hydrocolloid for gluten-free bakery formulations.
A research study examined how gellan gum affects yogurt gel structure, water-holding capacity, texture, and rheological behavior, showing why dosage matters when using gellan gum in fermented dairy products.
A 2026 study examined how gellan gum, HPMC, and tara gum affect non-dairy whipped cream, including viscosity, whipping performance, texture, microstructure, and physical stability.
A recent Food Hydrocolloids study explored low-acyl gellan gum as part of a bigel system for replacing solid fat in muffins, showing how gellan gum can influence structure, texture, thermal stability, and bakery performance.
A recent Food Hydrocolloids study examined how different levels of gellan gum affected whole wheat bread, including texture, crumb structure, viscoelasticity, and molecular characteristics.
