GELLANEER HS-204-S2 is a unique gellan gum designed for use in the food industry. GELLANEER HS-204-S2 swells in deionized water to a starch-like consistency and provides optimal gelling temperature and gel properties. It can be used as a texturizing and stabilizing agent in high solids systems or at applications where low hydration and gelling temperatures are desired. GELLANEER HS-204-S2 imparts creamy mouthfeel and improves body in low fat and/or low sugar systems. It is highly pseudoplastic and provides excellent pumpability and spreadability. GELLANEER HS-204-S2 can be used in combination with other hydrocolloids to give different textures and mouthfeels.
