Emerging Innovations and Trends in the Hydrocolloids Market
Key companies within the hydrocolloids sector are increasingly focusing on the development of sophisticated solutions such as high-performance gelling agents. These innovations aim to improve texture modification, product stability, and versatility across food, beverage, and personal care formulations. The multifunctional properties of gellan gum, including gelation, stabilization, thickening, suspension, and film formation, are particularly in demand to boost product quality and performance.

For example, in July 2023, DSM-Firmenich, a Swiss science company, introduced GELLANEER, a next-generation gelling agent derived from gellan gum. GELLANEER is known for its strong thickening abilities and stability under heat and varying pH levels. It is widely used in products such as beverages, desserts, and plant-based alternatives. The product line includes high-acyl gellan gum for producing softer, elastic gels and low-acyl gellan gum for firmer, brittle gels, giving manufacturers enhanced flexibility in customizing textures and functional properties.
