Detailed Product Description

Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by viscous fermentation.

Its unique functionality compared to other commercial polysaccharides is provided by the actual structure of the xanthan gum molecule. It is widely used as a thickener and stabilizer. Food grade xanthan gum can be widely used as salt/acid resistant thickener, high efficient suspension agent and emulsifier, high viscosity filling agent in various food and beverage. It can not only enhance the performance of water-keeping and shape-keeping, but also improve the freeze/thaw stability and mouth-feeling of food and beverage products.
