Product description:
Xanthan gum is a microbial polymer primarily used not as a gelling agent but as a viscosity control ingredient. Even at low concentrations, it gives solutions significant thickness. It mixes easily with other substances and forms stable suspensions and soft, elastic gels — for example, when combined with locust bean gum.
This stabilizer retains moisture well, is temperature-resistant, and is compatible with acids, alkalis, and salts. Thanks to these properties, xanthan gum is widely used across various industries:
-
Food industry: beverages, instant concentrates, frozen foods, dairy products (yogurts, creams, cheeses), glazes, meat products, diet foods
-
Cosmetics: facial creams, lotions, toothpaste, shampoos
-
Technical applications: used as a stabilizer and thickener in specialized formulations
