Xanthan gum, a polysaccharide originating from sugar fermentation by
Xanthomonas campestris bacteria, is a high molecular weight carbohydrate. It
serves as a versatile additive and thickener with distinct rheological traits.

Due to its water-holding prowess, xanthan gum transforms into a dense gel in
water. Its stability across temperature and pH variations renders it fitting
for diverse food and industrial uses.

In the food sector, xanthan gum acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and
emulsifier. It heightens the texture, mouthfeel, and quality of products such
as sauces, baked goods, beverages, dairy, and dressings. It’s also adept at
preserving the uniform dispersion of solids in liquids, averting settling or
separation.

Beyond food, xanthan gum finds roles in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and
personal care, functioning as a stabilizer, emulsifier, and thickener.
