Xanthan Gum

Chemical Formula: (C₅H₁₀O₅)ₙ
Application

Xanthan Gum ((C₅H₁₀O₅)ₙ) is a polysaccharide commonly used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals. It is produced through the fermentation of sugars by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Xanthan Gum enhances the texture and consistency of food products, such as sauces and dressings, and provides stability in suspensions and emulsions. Its high viscosity and ability to maintain product stability make it a valuable ingredient for improving product performance and quality.
