Information
Gellan gum e418 is a food additive commonly used to bind and stabilize processed foods. Gellan gum is similar to other gelling agents, including carrageenan, agar, and xanthan gum. Organic gellan gum is a popular alternative to other gelling agents because it works in very small amounts and produces clear gels that are insensitive to heat.
