What is the difference between the two types?

The degree of acylation affects the texture of the resulting gel:

  • Gellan Gum LT100 (High Acyl) forms soft, flexible, elastic gels. It is suitable for preparations requiring a softer texture, including mousses and marshmallows.
  • Gellan Gum Type F (Low Acyl) forms firm, clear gels and is suitable for preparations requiring a defined shape and clean cut. It produces heat-resistant gels.

Choose LT100 for softer, elastic textures and Type F for firmer, clearer gels. Gel properties also depend on the recipe and processing conditions.
