What is Gellan Gum? Gellan gum is a water soluble, high molecular weight polysaccharide gum that is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates in algae by the bacterium Pseudomonas elodea. This fermented carbohydrate is purified with isopropyl alcohol, then dried and milled producing a powder.
Specific heat capacity. When objects of different temperature are brought together, and heat is transferred from the higher-temperature objects to the lower-temperature objects, the total internal energy is conserved.
The heat energy needed to raise the temperature of m kg of a substance of specific heat capacity c by a certain temperature difference is given by the equation: Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change.owever, a rather more useful quantity is the heat energy needed for 1 kg only. The SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY of a substance is the heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1K (or by 1oC). Specific heat capacity is given the symbol c. The units for c are J/(kg K) or J/(kg o C).
