What is Xanthan Gum?
Xanthan Gum is a high-performance, multifunctional polysaccharide widely recognized for its exceptional thickening, stabilizing, and suspending properties. Naturally derived from the fermentation of sugars by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria, this biodegradable ingredient is a go-to solution in both food and industrial applications.
Xanthan Gum in the Food Industry
In the food industry, Xanthan Gum is valued for its ability to improve texture and consistency. It stabilizes emulsions, prevents ingredient separation, and ensures uniform viscosity, even under varying temperatures and pH levels. From salad dressings and sauces to gluten-free baked goods and beverages, Xanthan Gum enhances mouthfeel and shelf stability without altering taste or colour.
Industrial Applications of Xanthan Gum
Beyond the kitchen, Xanthan Gum plays a vital role in industrial formulations. In personal care and cosmetic products, it acts as a thickener and suspending agent, improving the application and stability of creams, gels, and lotions. In oil drilling, it helps regulate flow and reduce friction in drilling fluids. It’s also used in paints, adhesives, and cleaning products for its consistent rheology and water-binding properties.
