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.
Heat, Specific. The capacity of a body for heat; a coefficient representing the relative quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of an identical weight of a given body a defined and identical amount. The standard of comparison is water; its specific heat is taken as unity.
