Product Details:

Plant Gel is the brand name for the Gellan Gum of Marine Hydrocolloids. Gellangum is a water-soluble anionic polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Sphingomonaselodea. It has a high molecular weight of approximately 500,000. Polysaccharide gum is produced by the fermentation of a carbohydrate by Pseudomonas Elodea, and it is then purified, dried and powdered. Plant Gel will disperse in cold water. Dispersion is aided by use of warm/hot water. It can be used as a replacement for Agar Agar for many applications. Plant gel melts at 80°C to 100°C and gels at 10 to 50°C. It is clear and has no syneresis or weeping. It is pH tolerant from 3 to 10. Gelation is promoted by calcium chloride (fused).
