Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum is a kind of polysaccharide produced by fermentation engineering with carbohydrate as main raw material (such as corn starch). It is the largest and most widely used polysaccharide in the world. Xanthan gum is light yellow to white movable powder, slightly smelly. Water disperses and emulsifies into a stable hydrophilic viscous colloid.

Introduction
Xanthan gum is a kind of polysaccharide produced by fermentation engineering with carbohydrate as main raw material (such as corn starch). It is the largest and most widely used polysaccharide in the world. Xanthan gum is light yellow to white movable powder, slightly smelly. Water disperses and emulsifies into a stable hydrophilic viscous colloid.
Xanthan gum, as a thickening agent, suspension agent, emulsifier and stabilizer, can be widely used in food, medicine and other industries. As a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspension agent, thickening agent and processing aid in food, it can control the rheological property, structure, flavor and appearance of products, and its false plasticity can ensure good taste. Therefore, it is widely used in salad dressings, breads, dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, condiments, brewing, confectionery, pastries, soups and canned foods.
