Gellan is an extracellular polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas elodea during fermentation. Unlike raw materials, it can be produced on demand, and its quality is less influenced by the quality of the raw materials. The Gellan can be manufactured in two forms, substituted or unsubstituted, and is useful to industries with very low levels of use in a wide range of applications. A variety of gel textures can be produced (soft elastic gels from the substituted gum, and hard brittle gels from the non-substituted gum). It is possible to provide tailored solutions for clients using the combination of carrageenan and gums
