PURPOSE:To obtain an gelled substance carrying perfume or the like having excellent quality, by using gellan gellan gum. CONSTITUTION:An gelled substance carrying perfume or the like holds one or more kind of an aromatic agent, a sterilizing agent, a fungicide, an insecticide or the like and is composed of a gellan gum being a gelling agent alone or a combination of the gellan gum and one or more kind of carageenan, agar, gelatin, locustbean gum, xanthane gum, CMC or the like. The use amount of the gellan gum is 3% or less by wt. of the gelled substance carrying perfume or the like and the gellan gum is one of high-molecular polysaccharides and has sol forming temp. of about 85 deg.C and gelling temp. of about 35 deg.C and is excellent in heat resistance and tasteless and odorless. In gelling, metal ions such as of calcium, magnesium, potassium or sodium and acids such as an org. acid or an inorg. acid must be the intermediary as a gelling aid. The addi tion of an aromatic sterilizing and insecticidal substance may be performed before a system is gelled and the mixed system is cast into a predetermined mold and gelled by cooling. Further, by together using other high-molecular polysaccharides, the syneresis and aroma holdability of the gelled substance can be improved. |
