Introduction
Xanthan Gum which is made from refined corn starch, is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation with Xanthamonas Campestris under the conditions of special nutrient medium, PH, O2-supply and temperature, then purified, dried and milled into white-like or light-yellow free-flowing powder.
Xanthan gum used as a thickener and stabilizer is widely used in many fields such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, agriculture, oil drilling, etc.
Xanthan gum is most often found in salad dressings and sauces. It helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier. Xanthan gum also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices. Xanthan gum helps create the pleasant texture in many ice creams, along with guar gum and locust bean gum. Xanthan gum is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for those with swallowing disorders, since it does not change the color or flavor of foods or beverages.
