Polysaccharide with strong shear-thinning behavior, with diverse application profiles
DISTINCTIVE STRENGTH
Helps particles stay suspended at rest, yet flows readily during pouring or pumping; viscosity recovers quickly after shear
How it is made
Xanthomonas campestris ferments carbohydrate feedstock, and xanthan gum is recovered from the broth, then dried and milled.
Applications
Dressings, sauces, beverages, gluten-free bakery and frozen foods; also personal care, cleaners and industrial suspensions.
