Gellan gum is a significant hydrocolloid in the food business and is generally utilized as a food added substance in health food sources because of its high protein and amino corrosive substance. The hydrocolloid idea of gellan gum has numerous applications in sweet shop items (to give chewiness, surface and froth adjustment), sticky pastries (for smoothness, fat decrease and mouthfeel), dairy items (for adjustment and surface) and meat items (for water maintenance). Because of excessive costs, gellan gum has filled gradually as of late. In the US market, gellan gum contends with cheap thickener and consequently develops gradually. Impact of COVID-19 on North America Food Hydrocolloids Market: Meat processing factories have become a hotspot for COVID-19 infections, drawing attention to the health and safety of traditional meat and resulting in decreased meat consumption. As of 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had received data on COVID- 19 cases from 19 of the 23 states that had reported at least one industry-related case. This has resulted in a decrease in the demand and consumption of gelatin and other hydrocolloids in the meat industry. Baked goods sales were above average, although bakery supply was insufficient as many bakeries had to close due to labor shortages. In addition, the disruption of logistics facilities and a shortage of raw materials after the foreclosure caused additional problems in the market. Due to all these factors, the hydrocolloid market is adversely affected
