KELCOGEL HS-B gellan gum functions at low use levels to impart minimal mouthfeel without adversely impacting flavor. KELCOGEL HS-B gellan gum disperses well without lumping, hydrates easily and is heat stable, making it compatible with standard UHT UHT ultra-heat-treated (milk or cream) UHT adj abbr (= ultra heat treated): UHT milk → leche f uperizada UHT adj abbr (= ultra-heat treated); and HTST HTST high temperature short-term pasteurization. equipment.
