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.

Xanthan gum is a Vegan, Plant- based and Non-GMO hydrocolloid which is widely used as thickening and stabilizing agent in many food products such as dairy products, Bakery & confectionery products, soups, gravies, frozen foods, etc.,
Guar Gum, E412, CAS no.9000-30-0, food thickener, a polysacharide (a long chain made of sugars) made of the sugars galactose and mannose. Guar Gum appears as a free-flowing, off-white colored, coarse to fine ground powder. It is used in bakery, dairy products, it thickens milk, yogurt, kefir, and liquid cheese products. When mixed with Xanthan gum or Locust bean gum, the viscosity is more than when either one is used alone, so less of each can be used.

APPLICATION
For food:Xanthan gum can improve the texture, consistency, flavor, shelf life and appearance of many foods.
It's used frequently in gluten-free cooking since it can provide the elasticity and fluffiness that gluten gives traditional baked goods
Personal Care Products:Xanthan gum is also found in many personal care and beauty products. It allows these products to be thick, but still flow easily out of their containers. It also allows solid particles to be suspended in liquids
Industrial Products:Xanthan gum is used in many industrial products due to its ability to withstand different temperatures and pH levels, cling to surfaces and thicken liquids, all while maintaining good flow.
