What is Food Grade Thickener/Cosmetic Grade Xanthan Gum?
Xanthan gum, also known as Hansen gum, is a widely used microbial extracellular polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris through fermentation engineering with carbohydrate as the main raw material (such as Corn starch). It is a polysaccharide macromolecule compound composed of D-glucose, D-neneneba mannose and D-nenenebb glucuronic acid in a ratio of 2:2:1. It has unique rheological properties, good water solubility, stability to heat, acid and alkali, and good compatibility with various salts. As a thickener, suspension agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, it can be widely used in more than 20 industries such as food, petroleum, cosmetics, etc. It is currently the largest and most widely used microbial polysaccharide in the world.

Function: Because of its unique properties, Xanthan gum is widely used in more than ten fields such as food, petroleum, cosmetics, daily chemical industry, etc.1. Food industry: Xanthan gum is added to many foods as stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickener and processing auxiliary agent. It is widely used in salad dressings, bread, dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, seasonings, brewing, candies, pastries, soups, and canned foods.
2. Daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecule contains a large number of hydrophilic groups, which is a good surfactant, and has antioxidant, anti aging and other effects. Most high-end cosmetics use Xanthan gum as its main functional component. In addition, Xanthan gum can also be used as an ingredient of toothpaste to substantially thicken and shape, and reduce tooth surface wear.
3. Application in industry and agriculture: In the petroleum industry, due to its strong pseudoplasticity, excellent salt resistance, and heat resistance, it is widely used in drilling in special environments such as oceans and high salt zones, and can be used as an oil recovery and displacement agent to reduce dead oil zones and improve oil recovery rates.
