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 specific heat represents the amount of energy required to raise 1 kg by 1oC (or 1 K) , and can be thought of as the ability of a substance to absorb heat. Therefore the SI units of specific heat capacity are kJ/kg.K (kJ/kg.oC) .Water has a very large specific heat capacity (4.19 kJ/kg.oC) compared with many fluids.he specific heat represents the amount of energy required to raise 1 kg by 1oC (or 1 K) , and can be thought of as the ability of a substance to absorb heat. Therefore the SI units of specific heat capacity are kJ/kg.K (kJ/kg.oC) .
