The Application of Gellan Gum to Jelly /Jam Gellan Gum is widely applied in the jelly processing as the gelling agent, compared with sodium alginate, agar, gelatin and carrageen an, the jelly produced by the jelly powder which is prepared by the Gellan gum, has an excellent transparency, brittle and slippery taste, it can produce a series of jellies from brittleness to elasticity, which will not be dissolved in the summer and has a good shrink resistance. In addition, it has a low consumption and convenient in processing.
Gellan Gum can be used in processing of Multi-layer jelly, brittle jelly, elastic jelly and refined jelly.

Since high methoxyl pectin requires careful adjustment of pH and high concentration of sugar, it cannot be used for manufacture of low solid contents products. Also, low ethoxyl pectin or kappa-carrageenan causes various problems relating to storage and stability. However, the gellan gum provides stability during processing and storage, and use of only small amount results in gels with excellent taste and appearance.
