Gellan Gum Production Cost Breakup By Fermentation Method

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of gellan gum production by fermentation method. The preparation process of gellan gum begins with the isolation of the Sphingomonas elodea bacterium, found naturally on lily plants. The bacterium is fermented in the presence of a mixture of carbon sources (including glucose, fructose, glycerol, etc.). After fermentation, it is dried and processed into powder, resulting in the production of gellan gum as the end product.

Top Producers of Gellan Gum

  • H & A Canada Inc.
  • DuPont de Nemours, Inc.
  • Dancing Caixin Sugar Industry Co. Ltd.
  • Hebei Xinhe Biochemical Co. Ltd
  • Koninklijke DSM N.V.

Feedstock for Gellan Gum

Gellan gum is an organic compound manufactured by fermenting the Sphingomonas elodea bacterium (obtained from the lily plant) that serves as its major feedstock. The procurement of gellan gum is majorly governed by prominent factors, including the harvesting cost (for lily pads or lily leaves used to isolate Sphingomonas elodea bacterium), processing and production cost of gellan gum, the logistics, trade, and transportation activities altogether influence its procurement and impacts its market growth. Moreover, other factors, such as the stability in the supply chain, variations in its market prices, governmental policies, and its demand for cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical products altogether govern its procurement in the global market.
