Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum it is a kind of sugar. It can be extracted from corn starch. It is soluble in water. It has an excellent tolerance to the changes of temperature, acid, alkali and salt. Its excellent suspending properties, make it a very desirable substance used in food industry and in oil & gas, pesticides, pharmaceuticals ..etc. It is one of the most used thickeners in the food industry. It is also more effective when used with other substances (Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum).

1. In Food Industry:

- Stabilizer: Xanthan Gum has the ability to produce a large increase in the stickiness (1% Xanthan Gum liquid is 100 times stickier than gelatin) of a liquid, it helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion. Because of this feature, it can not only enhance the performance of water-keeping and shape-keeping, but also to improve the freezing/thawing stability, which means the shelf life of products would be extended.

- Thickener and Emulsifier: Xanthan Gum can be widely used as a salt/acid resistant thickener, so Xanthan Gum is most often found in salad dressings and sauces.

- Quality Enhancer: When Xanthan Gum is used in frozen foods and beverages, Xanthan Gum helps create the pleasant texture in many ice creams, along with Guar Gum and Locust Bean Gum.

- Binder: Xanthan Gum is used in gluten-free baking. Since the gluten found in wheat must be got rid off, Xanthan Gum is used to give the dough or paste a "stickiness" that would otherwise be achieved with the gluten.

- Suspending agent: For beverage, which contains fruit granular, jelly with fruits granular, jams, marmalades, puddings.

Xanthan Gum works better if it is mixed with other gums

2. In Industrial Fields:

As thickener and stabilizer, Xanthan Gum can be applied to many industrial fields, such as pesticides, feedstuff and porcelain printing and dyeing, painting and coating, paper-making etc. it can prolong product life, and increase the sticking and oxidation resistance properties. Furthermore it can reduce the consumption of other materials and make the product's color clear, right and clean.

3. In Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industry:

Xanthan Gum can be used as a thickener and stabilizer in liquid or ointment medicine, cosmetics, oral care products, household lotion , Light consumption (0.1-0.2%) of Xanthan Gum can bring high effectiveness ,such as household lotion.

4. In Oil Drilling & Exploration Industry:

Xanthan Gum is an environmentally friendly and highly efficient mud additive. It can extremely increase the products penetrating ability and reduce the pressure loss during drilling, which the finish of the well can be fastened with less damage to the oil formation. It can also greatly raise the efficiency of drilling & repair and completion as a biotype oil formation.

5. Daily Iindustry:

Toothpaste, lotion, cosmetics often contain Xanthan Gum, it serves as a binder to keep the product uniformity.
