NOVEL USE OF NATIVE GELLAN GUM

摘要

A composition comprising a native gellan gum which, based on the polyfunctionality, can provide a gel composition resistant to freezing and thawing, a dry gel and a jelly prepared therefrom, a gel like a rice cake, a food alternative to a rice cake, a simulated food, a thermally insulated composition, and a coolant; and the use of the above composition as additives having unique functions, for example, a dispersion stabilizer, an additive for a thickening composition, a heat resistance-imparting agent, a syneresis inhibitor, a foam stabilizer, and an improver for the sense of taste and texture of a food.
