Xanthan gum is an effective thickening agent, emulsifier and stabiliser. In food, it helps to bind ingredients and improve texture. It is stable, water soluble and effective even at low concentrations.
Xanthan gum’s thickening, stabilising and suspension properties give it a number of other niche pharmaceutical, industrial and technical applications.
• Gluten-free bread, cakes and pastries: binding and texturising (mimics properties of gluten)
• Sauces, dressings and soups: thickening and stabilising
• Dairy products: texture and consistency
• Shampoos, lotions, creams and toothpastes: viscosity and stability
• Syrups and liquid medicines: suspension
• Water gels: thickness and stabilisation
• Oil-in-water emulsions: droplet coalescence
• Drilling muds for oil and gas exploration: viscosity
