Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight extracellular polysaccharide widely used as a thickener, emulsifier and stabiliser in food. Unlike other polysaccharide gums, it is made from bacterial fermentation rather than extraction from plants. It is a cream-coloured, free-flowing powder boasting a neutral flavour taste. Even at low concentrations, xanthan gum solutions offer a higher degree of viscosity than other polysaccharides. Xanthan gum solutions are highly pseudoplastic to enhance sensory qualities (flavour release, mouthfeel) and guarantee good pouring. Xanthan gum also improves the freeze/thaw stability of frozen foods. This product is food safe with medium/normal particle size - FN (other grades available).
