Gellan Gum
What it is
A gum made by fermentation. It comes in two types: one sets firm and clear, the other soft and elastic.
What it does
At very low levels it forms a fluid gel that holds pieces, herbs or inclusions evenly in a broth or gravy without making it thick. At higher levels it sets firm gels that hold up to heat.
Where it’s used
Wet food: suspension in broths, gravies and pourable toppers; gel in chunk-in-jelly.
Treats: gel and jelly-style treats.
Supplements: suspending agent in liquid supplements.
Dry food and livestock feed: not typical.
