Overview of Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide widely used as a food additive and in industrial applications. It is produced by the fermentation of glucose or sucrose using the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Known for its ability to thicken liquids and stabilize emulsions, Xanthan gum is commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries.

This white to off-white powder is highly soluble in water and forms a gel-like substance when mixed with liquid. It is stable across a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, which makes it a valuable ingredient in various formulations. Xanthan gum is widely used to improve the texture of products and provide viscosity in sauces, dressings, and beverages. It is also a key ingredient in the production of Acrylic Resin, Calcium Carbonate, and Citric Acid Anhydrous.

Related products include Calcium Carbonate, Citric Acid Anhydrous, and Acrylic Resin, which are often used alongside Xanthan gum in the chemical and food industries.
