Gellan Gum is a high-molecular-weight microbial polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Sphingomonas elodea. It is a functional hydrocolloid valued for its gelling, thickening, stabilizing and suspending properties.
Gellan Gum is used in pharmaceutical formulations and other industries where controlled gel formation, suspension stability and rheological modification are required. Its ability to form gels at relatively low concentrations makes it useful in specialized formulation systems.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Gellan Gum in India for pharmaceutical, formulation, nutraceutical, food and other industrial applications according to the required grade and specification.
Pharmaceutical-grade Gellan Gum can be used as a gelling agent, thickener, stabilizer and suspending agent. Its functional performance depends on factors including polymer concentration, ionic environment, pH and the specific grade of Gellan Gum.
Gellan Gum may be available in different functional forms, including high-acyl and low-acyl types, which provide different gel textures and rheological properties.
Gellan Gum is a microbial exopolysaccharide with a repeating tetrasaccharide structure containing glucose, glucuronic acid and rhamnose residues.
Its CAS Number is 71010-52-1. As a naturally derived polymeric material, it does not have a single fixed molecular weight comparable to a small-molecule chemical.
The functional properties of Gellan Gum are influenced by its molecular structure, degree of acylation, polymer concentration and formulation conditions.
Gellan Gum can be used in:
Gellan Gum can function as a gelling agent, thickener, stabilizer and suspending excipient. Its ability to form structured gels can help improve the physical stability and consistency of selected pharmaceutical formulations.
It can also be investigated in controlled-release and drug-delivery systems where a polymeric gel matrix is desirable.
Gellan Gum can provide rheological modification and help maintain suspended particles in liquid formulations. The appropriate concentration and grade should be established through formulation development and stability testing.
