Overview:
Gellan gum is a basically a polysaccharide, which has high molecular weight and is produced by fermentation. Gellan gum is commercially used for cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical and non-food products in various countries such as China, U.S., Canada, Japan, European Union and others. Gellan gum is finds application in wide hygiene and cosmetics products including lotion, face masks, creams, face masks and others. This is attributed tostrong hold and texture provided by gellan gum in sunscreens as it stabilizes the oily factor in creams. Gellan gum finds profound use as stabilizer, emulsifier and thickener and is either used individually or as a combination with another product in order to develop textures. Gellan gum forms a transparent gel, which suspends with minimal viscosity during the gel solution formation. Other advantages of gellan gum include better thermal stability, degree of structure and setting temperature, however depending upon the gellan gum used and the concentration of gelling ion used to formulate gellan gum for a particular product.
Increasing demand for jelly, pudding, jam, confectionery, marshmallows and desserts among consumers has led food manufacturers to develop formulations, which offer better stability, texture and hold to the product. This is driving the demand for gellan gum among food manufacturers at a significant rate. Also, there is rising demand for gellan gum in beverages, which is majorly due to demand for gelled beverages. Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the market, owing to significant growth by gellan gum market in China. North America follows, along with Japan and Europe. Although, gellangum is commercially produced in USA and Japan by C. P. Kelco, the market is stable in these countries.
