Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is a white-like or light yellowish powder.It is a natural biopolymer made from fermentation by strain of Xanthomonas Campestris. Xanthan Gum is soluble in water, not soluble in solvents. Xanthan Gum is excellent thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier in various applications including food, petfood, pharm. cosmetic, oildrilling, textile , agriculture, tobacco, etc. by its high performance functionality in improve viscosity, rheology control,suspension & stabilizing, moisture retention etc.

Properties & Characteristics of Xanthan Gum:

1. High viscosity at low concentration allows Xanthan Gum an efficient thickener/viscosifier in water based system.

2. High viscosity at low shear rates enable Xanthan Gum high suspension & stabilizing properties

3. High efficient pseudoplasticity,unique characteristic of Xanthan Gum: Viscosity decrease when shear force increase,initial viscosity recover when shear strength remove. This unique property enable xanthan gum good rheology control,increase production efficiency in final production process of pumping /transform.

4. Temperature stable: Xanthan Gum are stable at broad temperature range,including freeze/thaw stability and high temperature resistant.

5. Brine stable & Broad PH stable

6. Good compatibility & synergism to other ingredients in formula.
