• Gellan gum, a linear anionic negatively charged exopolysaccharide, a biocompatible, biodegradable and non-toxic in nature.


  • Gellan gum produces hard and translucent in the presence of metallic ions which are stable at low pH.


  • Gellan gum has poor mechanical strength, poor stability in physiological conditions, high gelling temperature and small temperature window.


  • A comprehensive overview of gellan gum blends with natural and synthetic polymers and their applications.
