Abstract
Beverages with improved particle suspension properties are disclose, along with methods of making the same. The beverages include a low-acyl gellan gum and insoluble particles. The low-acyl gellan gum undergoes a gel transition that provides adequate gelation to maintain the particles in suspension. The low-acyl gellan gum undergoes the gel transition below a threshold above which the particles and/or a gelled portion of the gum would rise to the top of the beverage via bubbles moving upward through the beverage.
