CALCIUM STABLE HIGH ACYL GELLAN GUM FOR ENHANCED COLLOIDAL STABILITY IN BEVERAGES

摘要

A low calcium sensitive (calcium stable) high acyl gellan gum is prepared for enhanced colloidal stability in beverages. The low calcium sensitive high acyl gellen gum has superior suspension performance for colloidal stability compared to other high aryl gellan gums. "h5 low calcium sensitive high acyl gellan gum is prepared by adjusting the pH of a gellan fermentation broth (polymer solution) prior to pasteurization and reduAing the pasteurization hold time compared to conventional pH levels and hold times.
