Air freshener gels are transparent, have a high melting temperature and may contain high levels of fragrance.

In air fresheners, gellan gum enables air freshener gels of crystal clarity to be formulated. The high melting temperature of these gels makes them suitable for use in hot environments, such as cars.

Film and coating

The gellan gum can be used for preparation of useful films or coating in the course of making batter or breading of chicken, fish, cheese, potato, egg roll, and pizza roll. The films can be formed by spraying the hot solution of gellan gum on the surface of food, immersing the food in such hot solution of gellan gum and then cooling it down, or immersing the food in the cold solution of gellan gum. Such film formed makes a membrane that reduces oil absorption, enabling longer maintenance of crunch structure after oil-frying or baking.
Breading can be performed by spraying the gellan gum solution or immersing in the solution and then slight frying or freezing. If the foods with such breading are heated in a microwave range or an oven, they appear to be freshly fried in oil, producing low-oil foods.
