Xanthan Gum is a product of fermentation of Xanthomonas Campestris under special conditions of nutrient medium, pH, O2 supply and temperature. It is precipitated, dried and milled into white-like or light-yellow fine powder. Popularly used as a replacement of egg for texture, Xanthan Gum increases the viscosity of liquids making it an ideal thickening agent for sauces, dressings and other frozen foods.
