Gellan gum is a food additive that acts as a thickening or gelling agent, and can produce gel textures in food products ranging from hard and brittle to fluid. Types of products that typically contain gellan gum include: bakery fillings, confections, dairy products, dessert gels, frostings, icings and glazes, jams and jellies, low-fat spreads, microwavable foods, puddings, sauces, structured foods, and toppings.
Gellan gum also can be used in lotions and creams, make-up, face masks and packs, hair care products, toothpaste, and air freshener gels. Gellan gum also may be used in canned cat and dog food.
