Xanthan Gum is a natural polysaccharide that is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in food and cosmetic products. It is produced by the fermentation of sugar with a bacterial strain, Xanthomonas campestris. This versatile ingredient has a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. etc.
In the food industry, Xanthan Gum is used in a variety of products such as salad dressings, sauces, bakery products, and dairy products. It improves the texture and viscosity of these products, giving them a smooth and consistent appearance. It is also useful in gluten-free baking, helping to bind the ingredients together and provide a soft, moist texture

Application:
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 retaining 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 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.
Xanthan Gum is considered to be one of the most important oilfield chemicals along with CMC. They are both used in the drilling mud to improve the thickening of the mud to achieve better drilling and results.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. In Daily Industry:
Toothpaste, lotion, cosmetics often contain Xanthan Gum, it serves as a binder to keep the product uniformity.
