What is Curdlan?
Curdlan is a high-quality, water-insoluble polysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation, widely used as a functional gelling agent in food and industrial applications. Unlike plant-derived gums, Curdlan does not have botanical sources but is biosynthesized from Alcaligenes faecalis. It is also known as curdlan gum, β-1,3-glucan and registered under CAS No. 54724-00-4, with the molecular formula (C₆H₁₀O₅)n. Our Curdlan Powder is offered at a minimum purity of 80%, with an odorless white powder appearance, excellent bioavailability in formulations, and stable performance under high temperatures. Packaged securely in 25kg fiber drums or kraft paper bags, it features outstanding gel strength, water-binding capacity, thermal stability, and safety for multiple industries, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking reliable performance and compliance.
- Odorless and free-flowing: White powder with no taste or smell, easy to handle in bulk applications.
- Water-dispersible: Insoluble in water but disperses uniformly in cold water with high-speed stirring.
- Alkali-soluble: Completely dissolves in strong alkaline solutions (pH ≥ 12, such as sodium hydroxide and trisodium phosphate).
- High water-holding capacity: Absorbs more than 30 times its weight in water, preventing separation.
- Dietary fiber and low-calorie: Classified as insoluble dietary fiber, adding bulk without increasing calories.
- Thermo-irreversible gel: When heated above 80°C, forms strong, elastic, heat-stable gels suitable for processing.
- Thermo-reversible gel: Under certain conditions, produces low-density gels that can revert with temperature changes.
- Texture enhancement: Functions as a thickener, stabilizer, and texturizer, improving elasticity, firmness, and smoothness.
- Fat replacement: Mimics the creamy mouthfeel of fat, ideal for low-fat and reduced-calorie foods.
- Wide industry applications: Used in meat products, noodles, tofu, low-fat dairy, fat-free whipped cream, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.
