Curdlan is a microbial fermentation extracellular gum. It is a polymer prepared commercially from a mutant strain of Alcaligenes faecalis var. myxogenes. It is relatively expensive by weight but becoming rather less so.
Curdlan gum is tasteless and produces a retortable freezable food elastic gels. It is insoluble in cold water a but aqueous suspensions plasticize and briefly dissolve before producing reversible gels (that is, curdling, hence its name) on heating to around 55 °C ã??Heating at higher temperatures produces more resilient irreversible gels, which then remain on cooling, by the aggregation of the triple-helical structures and syneresis. The 'curds' consist of mixtures of single and triple helices. Salts tend to prevent curdlan from gelling and their presence weakens the final gels
ApplicationsIt's widely used in chocolate, baked goods, candy, table sugar, soft drinks, etc. Working as high sweetness sweetener diluent and low-calorie sweeteners.
Erythritol is sugar alcohol (or polyol) that has been used as a food additive. It has been found in some fruits and fermented foods. At the industrial production, it is produced from glucose by fermentation by Moniliella pollinis. With its advantage of 60-70% as sweet as table sugar, it is almost noncaloric, does not affect blood sugar, does not cause tooth decay, and is partially absorbed by the body, excreted in urine and feces. It is less likely to cause gastric side effects than other sugar alcohols because of its unique digestion pathway.

Guar gum is a fiber from the seed of the guar plant.
Guar gum is used as a laxative. It is also used for treating diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), obesity, and diabetes; for reducing cholesterol; and for preventing “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis).
In foods and beverages, guar gum is used as a thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and binding agent.
In manufacturing, guar gum is used as a binding agent in tablets, and as a thickening agent in lotions and creams.
How does it work?
Guar gum is a fiber that normalizes the moisture content of the stool, absorbing excess liquid in diarrhea, and softening the stool in constipation. It also might help decrease the amount of cholesterol and glucose that is absorbed in the stomach and intestines.
There is some interest in using guar gum for weight loss because it expands in the intestine, causing a sense of fullness. This may decrease appetite.
USES:
Diarrhea. Adding guar gum to the tube feeding formula given to critical care patients may shorten episodes of diarrhea from about 30 days to about 8 days.
High cholesterol. Taking guar gum seems to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Guar gum and pectin, taken with small amounts of insoluble fiber, also lower total and “bad” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but don't affect “good” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol or other blood fats called triglycerides.
Diabetes. Taking guar gum with meals seems to lower blood sugar after meals in people with diabetes. By slowing stomach emptying, guar gum may also lessen after-meal drops in blood pressure that occur frequently in people with diabetes.
Constipation.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Organic Gum Arabic (Acacia) is an emulsifier for flavor oils and essential oils, making them stable in water-based compounds. A 30/70 ratio of gum to water is recommended as the best starting point for a Gum Arabic solution. It can be mixed at a 6/1 ratio of gum to oil. It can be used in cosmetics, baking, and as a fiber supplement. Organic Gum Arabic (Acacia) is vegan, kosher, and gluten-free. The Sudanese Organic Gum Arabic Acacia Senegal Heshab is the best in quality all over the world.

What is Xanthan Gum?
Xanthan gum is a popular food additive that's commonly added to foods as a thickener or stabilizer.Though Xanthan gum sounds like it was created in a science lab, it's an entirely natural product. Made from fermented corn sugar that has been broken down by a plant bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris, the remaining residue is then dried and turned into a powder known as the food additive xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum has become a vital ingredient in gluten free baking. It helps goods made from gluten-free flours like almond flour and buckwheat flour bind together and develops elasticity-a job commonly completed by gluten. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, this ingredient plays a vital role in recreating traditionally gluten-full treats sans gluten.
These binding properties create goods with similar textures that hold together during the baking process. Many gluten free recipes don't bind well without xanthan gum and result in baked goods that crumble. Xanthan gum recreates gluten's stickiness while ensuring that the recipe remains gluten free.When xanthan gum powder is added to a liquid, it quickly disperses and creates a viscous and stable solution. This makes it a great thickening, suspending and stabilizing agent for many products.
Xanthan gum description:
Xanthan gum is an extracellular acidic heteropolysaccharide produced by the fermentation of xanthomonas campestris bacterium. Made from corn starch and other carbohydrates through the processes of cluturing, extracting, evaporating and grinding, it is widely used in industries such as food, oil, ming and textile.
Function:
Widely used as salt/acid resistant thickener, high efficient suspension agent and emulsifier, high viscosity filling agent in
various food and beverage. It can not only enhance the performance of water-keeping and shape-keeping, but also improve the freeze/thaw stability and taste of food and beverage products.
