Xanthan gum is a polymer polysaccharide substance formed by polymerizing 5 molecules of sugar as a unit and using the same unit. Each unit consists of 2 molecules of glucose, 2 molecules of mannose and 1 molecule of glucuronic acid. Its main chain is composed of 2 molecules of glucose connected by β-glucose through 1,4-glycosidic bonds, and its structure is the same as that of cellulose, and 2 molecules of mannose and 1 molecule of glucuronic acid are connected to the C3 of glucose to form a side chain. On the side chain there are pyruvate and carboxylic acid side groups. Chemicalbook because its side chain contains acidic groups, polyanions in aqueous solution, forming a three-level three-dimensional structure of xanthan gum: the side chain with anions winds around the main chain to form a spiral structure, and the molecules form a double-stranded helix by hydrogen bonding, and the double-stranded helix structure is maintained by weak non-covalent bonds, forming a regular "super-bonded band-like spiral polymer". Its unique properties are related to the pyruvate it contains, and usually the content of pyruvate in xanthan gum can be used to measure its performance.

1. In the drilling of the petroleum industry, 0.5% xanthan glue solution can maintain the viscosity of the water-based drilling fluid and control its rheological properties, so that the viscosity of the high-speed rotating drill bit is extremely small, which greatly saves power consumption, and maintains high viscosity in the relatively stationary drilling part, which prevents the collapse of the well wall and facilitates the cutting of crushed stone to discharge out of the well. 2. In the food industry, it is better than current food additives such as gelatin, CMC, alginin and pectin, and 0.2%~1% is added to the juice, so that the juice has good adhesion, good taste, and controls penetration and flow; As an additive to bread, Chemicalbook can make bread stable and smooth texture, save time and reduce costs; The use of 0.25% in bread filling, food filling and sugar coating can increase the taste and flavor, smooth product structure, extend shelf life, and improve the stability of products to heating and freezing; In dairy products, 0.1%~0.25% is added to ice cream, which can play an excellent stabilizing role; Provide good viscosity control in canned food, can replace part of starch, one part of xanthan gum can replace 3~5 parts of starch. At the same time, in candy, condiments, frozen foods and liquid foods, xanthan gum has also been widely used.
