Xanthan Gum
Xanthan Gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide derived from the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris using a natural, aerobic fermentation process. The process is conducted in a sterile environment where the pH, oxygen content and temperature are rigorously controlled. After fermentation is complete, the broth is sterilized and the gum is recovered by precipitation with isopropyl alcohol, then dried, milled and packaged under aseptic conditions. Xanthan Gum is primarily used as thickening agent. A small amount of Xanthan Gum when added to liquids can vastly increase the viscosity, making it useful for a variety of products that require thickening. This hydrocolloid is used mainly in Sauces, mayonnaise, cakes, chocolate spreads, Ice cream, Salad dressing and other frozen foods. It can be also used as an alternative for gluten-free products and replacement of egg for texture in baked goods and mayonnaise. Â Xanthan Gum is also used as an emulsifier in toothpaste, creams, lotions and shampoos. We are offering 2 different mesh sizes of Xanthan Gum (200mesh & 80mesh)
