Question
Our company sells two types of Gellan Gum: 1. High Acyl Gellan Gum, which forms a soft, opaque, and thermoreversible gel. 2. Low Acyl Gellan Gum, which forms a hard, clear, and non-thermoreversible gel. Which of these is equivalent to KELCOGEL® CG-LA?
Answer
Gellan Gum Equivalent to KELCOGEL® CG-LA
Based on the properties you described, KELCOGEL® CG-LA is a type of Low Acyl Gellan Gum.
Low Acyl Gellan Gum typically forms gels that are:
- Hard and brittle
- Clear
- Non-thermoreversible (they do not melt when heated)
Comparing these characteristics to the two types you offer:
- Your "Gellan Gum ชนิด High Acyl" forms a soft, opaque, thermoreversible gel.
- Your "Gellan Gum ชนิด Low Acyl" forms a hard, clear, non-thermoreversible gel.
Thus, your Gellan Gum ชนิด Low Acyl is equivalent to KELCOGEL® CG-LA.
