Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum
Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum is a co-processed blend of the two fermentation polysaccharides, designed to use the synergistic interaction between xanthan's pseudoplastic behaviour and gellan's brittle gel network.
The combination delivers a fluid gel that pours, then sets into a thin yet stable matrix capable of suspending insoluble particles and oil droplets across a wide temperature range.
We source bulk Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum from top China manufacturers for our partners. The manufacturer is in Inner Mongolia. A smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.
Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades
The blend comes in several xanthan-to-gellan ratios, chosen for the target application.
A 70:30 xanthan-heavy ratio is favoured for ready-to-drink protein and plant-milk beverages, where mouthfeel needs to stay light but calcium and cocoa must remain suspended.
A 50:50 balanced ratio is the standard for cold-fill jellies, fruit preparations, and yogurt drinks. It gives a soft, spoonable texture with minimum syneresis.
A 30:70 gellan-heavy ratio is used in clear suspension beverages, ready-to-eat desserts, and savoury jellies that need firmer stand-up.
Each ratio exists in clarified and standard versions, and in low-acyl, high-acyl, or mixed-acyl gellan composition.
Applications
- Ready-to-drink plant milks and protein beverages for long-term suspension stability
- Cocoa drinks, malted beverages, and chocolate dairy lines that must not settle
- Calcium-fortified juices and waters where mineral particles tend to fall out
- Yogurt drinks and cultured beverages for body and pulp suspension
- Fruit preparations for yogurt bottoms, where soft-set gels resist mechanical pumping
- Cold-set jellies and dessert cups in clean-label formulations
- Salad dressings with herb or spice particulates that should hang in solution
- Pet-food gravies and meat-chunk suspensions in pouches and trays
- Cosmetic serums and gels with botanical inclusions or pigment particles
- Pharmaceutical suspensions where dosing uniformity depends on no settling

How We Help Source Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum
Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Xanthan Gum Gellan Gum together with other ingredients such as Carrageenan, Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Agar Agar into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.
Regulatory Status
Both components are individually approved food additives, and the blend inherits their statuses.
Xanthan is E415 in the European Union and GRAS in the U.S. under 21 CFR 172.695. Gellan is E418 in the EU and GRAS under 21 CFR 172.665. JECFA has cleared both at standard purity specifications.
Label declaration in most jurisdictions is by individual gum name, listed in descending order of weight. Kosher, Halal, vegan, and non-GMO certifications apply when each input has been certified.
Manufacturing Process
The two gums are manufactured separately by aerobic fermentation, xanthan from Xanthomonas campestris and gellan from Sphingomonas elodea, then alcohol-precipitated, dried, and milled to controlled particle size.
Blending happens at the dry stage in ribbon blenders or conical mixers, with each lot homogenised to a specified ratio tolerance. Co-spray-dried versions also exist, where a slurry of both gums is dried together to give a true composite particle.
Final products are sieved through a single mesh specification and packaged in moisture-barrier liners. Inline blending offers tighter ratio control than batch blending and is preferred for premium-beverage customers.
