Description
Xanthan Gum is a natural polysaccharide widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. It is produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. Known for its excellent viscosity and stability across a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, Xanthan Gum is commonly used in sauces, dressings, beverages, bakery products, cosmetics, and oil drilling fluids.
