Information
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a conventional food additive. It is an effective thickener and stabilizer that prevents component separation. It can be produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process and derives its name from the species of Xanthomonas campestris used.
Usage
In food, xanthan gum is common in salad dressings and sauces. It helps prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier. Xanthan gum also helps to suspend solid particles such as spices. Xanthan gum helps create the desired texture in many ice creams. Toothpaste often contains xanthan gum as a binder to keep the product uniform. Xanthan gum also helps thicken commercial egg substitutes made from egg whites to replace the fat and emulsifiers found in the yolks. It is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for people with swallowing because they do not alter the color or taste of foods or beverages at typical levels of use. It is used in most foods at concentrations of 0.5% or less. Xanthan gum is used in a wide range of food products such as sauces, dressings, meat and poultry products, bakery products, confectionery products, beverages, dairy products, others.
In the oil industry, xanthan gum is used in large quantities to densify the mud.
In cosmetics, xanthan gum is used to prepare aqueous gels. It is also used in oil-in-water emulsions to increase drop coalescence.
