GELLANEER ELA-S2 is a low acyl type gellan gum recommended for use in food applications. GELLANEER ELA-S2 can be fully hydrated by heating to 80°C, but the hydration temperature can be significantly reduced by the use of chelating agents. It is highly pseudoplastic and provides excellent viscosity and pH stability. GELLANEER ELA-S2 gels at low dosages and releases with minimal degradation at low pH and high temperature. GELLANEER ELA-S2 is heat stable and acid stable, making it suitable for use in food products where heat and acid stability is required.
