Gellan Gum — Food Grade
Allzone Trading supplies food grade gellan gum to beverage and food manufacturers in Ontario, Quebec and across Canada. Gellan is a fermentation-derived hydrocolloid used for suspension and gelling at very low use levels. High acyl and low acyl types behave differently and are quoted as separate specifications.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of gellan gum+
Gellan gum forms a network in water in the presence of ions. Low acyl gellan produces firm, brittle, clear gels; high acyl gellan produces soft, elastic gels and a fluid gel structure capable of suspending particles in a beverage that still pours like a liquid.
High acyl or low acyl decides the outcome+
Suspension of cocoa or minerals in a drinkable beverage is a high acyl application; a firm, cuttable, transparent gel is a low acyl application. Ordering the wrong type produces either a set beverage or a settled one, so the type must be confirmed before quotation.
Ion content of your water matters+
Gellan hydration and gel strength depend on calcium and other ions present in the formulation and in the process water. Share your water profile and mineral additions so the supplier can advise on type and dosage.
Documentation and specification+
Functional values differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply both high and low acyl gellan?+
Both types are available from suppliers and are quoted as separate specifications with their own documentation.
What dosage should I use?+

Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can I request a technical data sheet?+
Yes — the supplier technical data sheet and safety data sheet are shared for the exact grade quoted.
