Xanthan Gum

Description

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, a carbohydrate type, used as a food additive and thickening agent. It’s produced by fermenting simple sugars with a specific strain of bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris. This process results in a substance that can absorb water and form a gel, making it effective for thickening and stabilising food products.

Xanthan gum can be used in various food products, including salad dressings, sauces, soups, and ice creams, where it helps prevent ingredients from separating and improves texture. It can be used as an ingredient in gluten-free baking since it can provide the elasticity and fluffiness that gluten typically offers in traditional baking.

Additionally, xanthan gum can be used in industrial applications and the cosmetic industry due to its stabilising and thickening properties. It’s considered safe for consumption and is often used as an alternative to gluten or other allergenic ingredients.

Derived through a natural fermentation process, our xanthan gum is a high-quality, versatile ingredient for a wide range of culinary uses. Available in convenient and resealable packaging, ensuring freshness and ease of storage. Choose from various sizes.
