Xanthan Gum Food Grade Non-GMO 25 kgs

What is Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide, a carbohydrate type widely used as a food additive and stabilizer. It is known for its exceptional thickening and stabilizing properties, which make it a key ingredient in many food and industrial applications. Xanthan Gum works well under a wide range of temperatures and pH levels. Additionally, it is compatible with many other ingredients, enhancing their performance and shelf life.

How is Xanthan Gum manufactured or produced?

Xanthan Gum is produced through a fermentation process. The Xanthomonas campestris bacterium is introduced to a growth medium that contains sugars (glucose or sucrose) and specific nutrients. The bacterium consumes the sugars and, as a byproduct, excretes a complex polysaccharide compound.

This compound is then precipitated (made into a solid) with isopropyl alcohol, dried, and ground into a fine powder. The resulting Xanthan Gum is then tested for quality and purity before being packaged for distribution.
