Gellan Gum is a hydrocolloid produced through fermentation processes. It is a carbohydrate polymer produced by the bacterium Sphingomonas elodea formerly known as Pseudomonas elodea. Following fermentation, the media is heated to kill viable cells. The isolation and purification of the Gellan Gum includes precipitation with alcohol. The level of acyl groups can be reduced with an alkali treatment prior to alcohol precipitation to produce Low Acyl (LA) forms compared to the native High Acyl (HA) form of Gellan Gum.
