Frequently asked questions
Does gellan gum withstand baking in the oven?
Yes, this is one of its main advantages: the formed gel remains stable even after being placed in the oven, distinguishing it from classic gelling agents that melt when heated.
Can a gellan gum gel be remelted?
No, it is not thermoreversible: once gelation has occurred, the gel retains its texture even when reheated, unlike NH pectin.
Is it suitable for savory preparations?
Yes, it can be used for both sweet preparations (fruit jellies, firm jams) and savory ones (jellies, inclusions for dishes), provided the dosage is adjusted between 10 and 20 g/kg depending on the desired texture.
