Specifications
What is Xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum is a microbially produced polysaccharide used as a high-performance thickening and stabilizing agent across numerous industries. Produced through the fermentation of sugar, it is characterized by high viscosity at low concentrations, as well as stable properties resistant to heat, pH fluctuations, and mechanical stress.
In which products is Xanthan gum used?
Xanthan gum is primarily utilized in food products such as sauces, dressings, baked goods, and gluten-free items. It enhances texture, provides a consistent mouthfeel, and prevents ingredient separation. It is also specifically employed as a stabilizer in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications.
Which additives do we typically combine with xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum can be used either independently or in combination with other ingredients. In many applications, it is combined with other hydrocolloids—such as guar gum or locust bean gum—to achieve specific textures or synergistic effects. However, for simple stabilization requirements, using it on its own is often sufficient.
