Xanthan Gum, which is mainly made from starch, is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation with Xanthomonas Campestris under the conditions of special nutrient medium, PH, O2-supply and temperature, the purified, dried and milled into white-like or light-yellow free-flowing powder. Xanthan Gum can be widely used in more than twenty industrial fields, such as food pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agriculture, oil drilling, and so on. Comparing with other kinds of gum, xanthan gum has many advantages. 1. Outstanding viscosity-enhancing property and solubility in water. 2. Unique pseudo-plasticity rheological property of xanthan gum makes it high-efficient emulsifier and stabilizer. 3. Excellent stability to large range of temperature and PH change. 4. Stable compatibility with acid, alkaline, brine, enzyme, surface active agent, antiseptic, oxidant and other thickener. 5. Perfect synergistic action when compounding with guar gum, locust bean gum and other gums.
