Without further ado, let me share with you about xanthan gum. You may be wondering what xanthan gum is, it is a thickening agent to increase the viscosity of food & beverages, and it is commonly used in sauces, ice creams, yogurt, and gluten-free bakeries. As these foods do not contain any starch to increase their viscosity, thus, it needs these food additives.

Xanthan Gum also acts as a stabilizer preventing the separation of ingredients. Briefly explain, xanthan gum is produced through the fermentation of sucrose, glucose, and lactose. After the process, the residues are left to be dried and ground into a fine powder. When it is mixed with liquid, this powder becomes viscous and almost turns into a gel-like texture.
