Xanthan Gum Powder

Xanthan Gum is a chain of sugar building blocks.

An additive used as a thickener, stabiliser and emulsifier, xanthan gum is made when strains of the Xanthomonas campestris bacteria are fed a solution of glucose, derived from corn, soy, dairy or wheat. The bacteria ferments the sugary solution, creating a sticky protective coat that has a consistency suitable for binding and thickening ingredients. It's these properties that make xanthan gum useful in food production – most notably in gluten-free baking, where it helps starches combine and improves the rise of gluten-free bakes. In manufacturing, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in foods, toothpastes, and medicines.
