High Acyl Gellan Gum could always be used in dairy beverages, such as soybean milk which is not so transparent and clear. It could help to stabilize milk dairy beverages by preventing proteins from sinking down to bottom on storage

Taste & Nutrition trends

Prospects

Good suspension effect, acid resistance, and excellent stability determine that gellan gum will inevitably occupy a pivotal position in the future development of liquid dairy products.
