All-round solution for food texture: GELLANEER®
Nordmann partner dsm-firmenich supplies a range of versatile thickening and stabilizing agents that help support food and beverage manufacturing: the GELLANEER® product family.
What is GELLANEER®?
GELLANEER® is a high-performance gelling agent developed by dsm-firmenich. Based on gellan gum, GELLANEER® is a microbially produced polysaccharide that delivers excellent thickening properties, heat and pH stability and has become a popular additive for both beverages and desserts, as well as vegan dairy and meat alternatives.
Varieties of GELLANEER®
dsm-firmenich’s portfolio features a range of gellan gums with different degrees of acylation. Using high acyl gellan gum will result in softer and more elastic gels; low acyl gellan gum produces firmer and more brittle gels.
Characteristics and use of the GELLANEER® family:
- Gelling agent: Food manufacturers utilize GELLANEER® products to create clear, solid, and thermally reversible gels. They are popular for a wide range of applications such as jellies, jams, and desserts.
- Stabilizing beverages: In fruit juices, milk-based drinks and plant-based milk alternatives, GELLANEER® products prevent solids from settling and ensures that fruit pieces and nutrients are evenly distributed. Beverages stay homogeneously mixed and appealing.
- Optimized mouthfeel: GELLANEER® provides for appetizing consistencies in sauces, dressings and soups, improving creaminess and emulsion stability.
- Texturizing agent: Gellan gum is a versatile ingredient that can be used to create diverse textures ranging from soft and elastic to sliceable. This makes GELLANEER® an ideal ingredient for innovative food applications such as the production of vegan cheese and meat alternatives.
