Product Details
Xanthan gum CAS#11138-66-2
Xanthan gum is a long-chain polysaccharide maleic-anhydride.html">manufactured via bacterial fermentation using sugars such as glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid. It is widely employed to thicken and stabilize emulsions, foams, and suspensions. As a common food additive, it regulates the rheological characteristics of numerous food items. In industrial applications, xanthan gum acts as a thickener and stabilizer in toothpaste and pharmaceutical products.

Product Application of Xanthan gum CAS#11138-66-2
It functions as a stabilizer and thickener in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It controls rheology in water-based systems and is used in oil and gas drilling and completion fluids. In cosmetics, xanthan gum acts as a texturizer, carrier, and gelling agent while stabilizing and thickening formulations. It is produced by fermenting carbohydrates with Xanthomonas campestris.
