Xanthan gum is a widely used microbial extracellular polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris using carbohydrates as the main raw material (such as corn starch) through fermentation engineering. It has unique rheological properties, good water solubility, thermal and acid-base stability, and good compatibility with various salts. As a thickener, suspension agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, it can be widely used in more than 20 industries such as food and petroleum. It is currently the largest and most widely used microbial polysaccharide in the world.
The characteristics of xanthan gum:
1. Suspension and emulsification properties
Xanthan gum has a good suspension effect on insoluble solids and oil droplets.
2. Good water solubility
Xanthan gum can dissolve quickly in water and has good water solubility. Especially soluble in cold water, it eliminates the need for complicated processing and is convenient to use.
3. Thickening properties
Xanthan gum solution has the characteristic of low concentration and high viscosity (the viscosity of a 1% aqueous solution is 100 times that of gelatin), making it an efficient thickener.
4. Pseudo plasticity
Xanthan gum aqueous solution exhibits high viscosity under static or low shear conditions, and exhibits a sharp decrease in viscosity under high shear conditions, while the molecular structure remains unchanged.
5. Stability to heat
The viscosity of xanthan gum solution does not change significantly with temperature changes. Generally, polysaccharides undergo viscosity changes due to heating, but the viscosity of xanthan gum aqueous solution remains almost unchanged between 10-80 ºC. Even low concentration aqueous solutions exhibit stable high viscosity over a wide temperature range.
6. Stability of acidity and alkalinity
Xanthan gum solution is very stable to acidity and alkalinity, and its viscosity is not affected between pH 5-10. There is a slight change in viscosity when pH is less than 4 and greater than 11.
7. Stability of salt
Xanthan gum solution can be mixed with many salt solutions (potassium salts, sodium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, etc.), and its viscosity is not affected. Under high salt concentration conditions, even in saturated salt solutions, its solubility is maintained without precipitation and flocculation, and its viscosity is almost unaffected.
8. Stability of enzymatic hydrolysis reaction
The stable double helix structure of xanthan gum endows it with strong antioxidant and anti enzymatic abilities. Many enzymes such as amylases, cellulases, and hemicellulases cannot degrade xanthan gum.

Due to its unique properties, xanthan gum has an extremely wide range of applications in more than ten fields such as food, petroleum, medicine, and daily chemical industry. Its high degree of commercialization and wide range of applications make it unmatched by any other microbial polysaccharide.
1. In terms of food, many foods add xanthan gum as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspension agent, thickener, and processing aid. Xanthan gum can control the rheology, structure, flavor, and appearance of products, and its pseudo plasticity can ensure good taste. Therefore, it is widely used in salad dressings, bread, dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, seasonings, brewing, candies, pastries, soups, and canned foods.
2. In terms of daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, making it a good surfactant. Almost the vast majority of high-end cosmetics use xanthan gum as its main functional component. In addition, xanthan gum can also be used as an ingredient in toothpaste to substantially thicken and shape, reducing tooth surface wear.
