This bacterial coat is used for fermentation of glucose, sucrose or lactose for a particular period and then the polysaccharide is precipitated from a growth medium with isopropyl alcohol, dried and ground into fine powder. It is then converted into gum form by adding suitable liquid medium.

Xanthan Gum is used as a FOOD ADDITIVES and rheology modifier which is generally used as a food thickening agent such as for salad dressings and sauces and also as a stabilizer in cosmetic products to prevent ingredient from separating. Xanthan gum is also used in frozen foods, beverages, spices, ice creams, toothpaste, gluten-free baking. Xanthan Gum is used in OIL DRILLING for thickening drilling mud. Oil well drilling grade of Xanthan Gum is also very popular in Oil Industry. Xanthan gum is used in COSMETICS Industry to prepare water gels generally in conjunction with Bentonite clays.

Properties of Xanthan Gum:

• Xanthan gum is a viscose xanthan gel that is an effective thickening vegetable gum for increasing thickness in various cooking uses.
• Any kind shear of force, like shaking, mixing or blending results in lesser viscosity. But once the effect of the forces is no more, it gets back to thick xanthan gel or xanthan gum form
• It has binding forces that keep the ingredients of the foods held together.
• It is gluten free emulsifying agent.
• It is not easily affected by the changes in temperature.
• It also has skin hydrating properties.

Some Uses of Xanthan Gum:

It is a heavily used gum for the industrial uses and in the food industry.  Let’s see the primary xanthan gum uses across the food and other industries:

Dairy products like salad dressings & milk based sauces make use of xanthan gum.

Xanthan gum acts as substitute for wheat and other cereals used for making bread that is gluten free.
