What is Curdlan?
Curdlan is a natural microbial polysaccharide, also known as E424, curdlan gum, beta-1,3-glucan, or β-1,3-glucan, produced by controlled fermentation and widely used as a food gelling agent, stabilizer, thickener, and texture modifier. It is not extracted directly from common food sources; instead, it is manufactured through microbial fermentation, followed by purification and drying into powder. The main active ingredient is curdlan polysaccharide, with CAS No. 54724-00-4, molecular formula commonly expressed as (C₆H₁₀O₅)n, and variable molecular weight depending on polymer chain length.
Commercial curdlan powder is usually classified by assay, gel strength, nitrogen level, microbiology, particle size, and packaging, rather than simply being described as “99% pure”; the mainstream food-grade specification is commonly ≥80% assay, while premium grades may focus on higher gel strength, lower nitrogen, and stricter microbial control. Curdlan is typically a white to nearly white, odorless powder, insoluble or only slightly dispersible in cold water, but it forms stable gels after heating, especially under high-temperature conditions. As a functional food ingredient, it mainly works through physical gel formation rather than conventional nutrient bioavailability. BSH Ingredients is a leading bulk curdlan gum supplier in China, offering fermentation-based curdlan powder, custom specifications, bulk packaging such as 25kg/drum, and OEM solutions including capsules, tablets, and customized finished formulations for food, nutrition, and ingredient brands.
