Punpple Xanthan Gum Powder 100g

While you may often see xanthan gum in food products, there are also many industrial xanthan gum uses. Because it is an effective “all natural” emulsifier, it’s considered a non-hazardous additive for a wide range of brines, drilling and fracturing fluids.

1. First, it is produced when glucose, sucrose or lactose is fermented by the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris.
2. Then, it is precipitated (made into a solid) by isopropyl alcohol.
3. After being dried, it is ground into fine powder so it can be added to liquid to form gum.

It is a very interesting man-made ingredient.

What’s xanthan gum structure like? It’s considered a heteropolysaccharide, which means it contains two or more different monosaccharide units.
