Product Descrption
Xanthan gum is a microbial extracellular polysaccharide with a wide range of functions produced by Xanthomnas campestris through fermentation engineering using carbohydrates as the main raw material (such as corn starch). It has unique rheology, good water solubility, stability to heat and acid and alkali, and good compatibility with a variety of salts. It can be widely used as a thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It is used in more than 20 industries such as food, petroleum, and medicine. It is currently the largest production scale and extremely versatile microbial polysaccharide in the world.

Product Applications
Due to its unique properties, xanthan gum is widely used in more than a dozen fields such as food, petroleum, medicine, and daily chemicals. Its high degree of commercialization and wide range of applications outshine any other microbial polysaccharide. All beyond reach.
1. Food: Xanthan gum is added to many foods as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickener and processing aid. Xanthan gum can control the rheology, structure, flavor and appearance of products, and its pseudoplasticity can ensure a good taste. Therefore, it is widely used in salad dressings, bread, dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, condiments, brewing, In sweets, pastries, soups and canned foods.
2. Daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups. It is a good surface-active substance and has the effects of antioxidant and preventing skin aging. Therefore, it is used in almost most high-end cosmetics. Xanthan gum as its main functional ingredient. In addition, xanthan gum can also be used as an ingredient in toothpaste to thicken and shape the toothpaste, reducing tooth surface wear.
3. Medical aspects: Xanthan gum is currently a popular functional component in microencapsulated drug capsules in the world. It plays an important role in controlling the sustained release of drugs; due to its strong hydrophilicity and water retention, there are many Applications in specific medical operations, such as forming a dense water film to avoid skin infection; reducing patients' thirst after radiation therapy, etc.
4. Applications in industry and agriculture: In the petroleum industry, due to its strong pseudoplasticity, a low concentration of xanthan gum (0.5%) aqueous solution can maintain the viscosity of the drilling fluid and control its rheological properties. Therefore, it can be used in high-speed rotating drill bits. The viscosity is extremely small in the location, saving power; while the viscosity is maintained high in the relatively stationary drilling location, thereby preventing the well wall from collapsing. And because of its excellent salt resistance and heat resistance, it is widely used in drilling in special environments such as oceans and high-salt areas. It can also be used as an oil recovery and displacement agent to reduce dead oil areas and improve oil recovery.
