GELLANEER ND-102 is a high acyl type gellan gum that is used as a suspension agent and mouthfeel enhancer in plant-based beverages. It helps in aiding the dispersion of ingredients and reducing the viscosity of formulations before hydration. GELLANEER ND-102 can hydrate at about 80-85°C without being very sensitive to calcium. It provides excellent suspension and low viscosity even at high fill temperatures, ensuring good suspension of ingredients. GELLANEER ND-102 also helps in releasing flavors for an improved taste. It can be used from 0.02% to 0.04% levels in formulations for different textures without compromising quality.
