Product Description
Xanthan Gum Food Grade is a polysaccharide secreted by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, used as a food additive and rheology modifier, commonly used as a food thickening agent (in salad dressings, for example) and a stabilizer (in cosmetic products,
for example, to prevent ingredients from separating). It is composed of pentasaccharide repeat units, comprising glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid in the molar ratio 2.0:2.0:1.0. It is produced by the fermentation of glucose,
sucrose, or lactose. After a fermentation period, the polysaccharide isprecipitated from a growth medium, and ground into a fine powder. Later, it is added to a liquid medium to form the gum.

Application
1.food: many foods are added xanthan gum as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickening agent and processing auxiliary agent.
2. Daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum is used as its main functional ingredient in almost the vast majority of high-grade cosmetics. In addition, xanthan gum can also be used as the essence of toothpaste to thicken and shape, and reduce tooth surface wear.
3. Medical: Xanthan gum is a functional component of microcapsule drug capsules that are popular in the world at present, and plays an important role in controlling drug release; Due to its own strong hydrophilic and water retention, there are many specific medical applications, such as forming a dense water film, so as to avoid skin infection; Alleviate the thirst of patients after radiotherapy.
4, industrial and agricultural applications: in the petroleum industry, in the high-speed rotation of the drill part viscosity is very small, saving power; High viscosity is maintained in the relatively static part of the borehole to prevent wall collapse. And it is widely used in Marine, high salt zone and other special environment drilling, and can be used as oil recovery agent, reduce dead oil area, improve oil recovery rate.
