~Types of Gellan Gum Gel

1. Firm, brittle gel - Using low acyl gellan gum in very low concentrations - from just 0.1% -firm and brittle gels can be made. These gels are crystal clear, making them very appealing visually. 2. Fluid gel - By agitating low acyl gellan gum gels as they cool, fluid gels can be created. They have apparent low viscosity, yet have remarkable suspending properties, successfully suspending particles such as coloured spheres, herbs, and even gases. 3. Elastic gel - By incorporating high acyl gellan, a far more flexible result can be achieved. The resultant gel can be made into thin sheets that can be rolled or folded. 4. Spheres and strands - a pure, gellan gum solution can be dropped into an ion rich water solution to form gelled spheres or strands.
