Xanthan gum, commonly known as corn sugar gum, xanthan gum is a sugar (glucose, sucrose, lactose) via an oil field complex polysaccharides menu cinerea fermentation by aerobic fermentation biotechnology, cutting 1,6 - glycosidic bonds, open-chain branches, in an acidic extracellular heteropolysaccharides synthesized by 1,4-bond linear chains. 1952 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Illinois, United States Institute of isolated northern Peoria Lille obtained cabbage black rot Xanthomonas, and cabbage extract into a water-soluble acidic extracellular heteropolysaccharide obtained.

Xanthan gum is a carbohydrate by Xanthomonas made ​​drunk , produce more extracellular microbial pond . Due to its special structure of macromolecules and colloidal properties , and a variety of functions can be used as emulsifiers, stabilizers , thickeners gel , wetting agents , film forming agents , widely used in various fields of national economy .

Used for a variety of purposes in industry stabilizers , thickeners and processing aids shop , including the production of canned and bottled foods, bakery foods, dairy products, frozen foods , salad dressings , beverages , brewing, confectionery , pastry Fancy toppings like. The production of food , easy flow , easy to pour into the easy piping , and reduce energy consumption.

Xanthan gum is an international Part One thickening, suspending , emulsifying, stabilizing in in one. Performance of the most superior biological glue . Xanthan gum has the general properties of long-chain polymer , but it contains more than the average high molecular functional groups , it will show unique properties under certain conditions . Of insoluble solids and oil droplets have a good suspension action , quickly dissolve in water , it has a good water-soluble , is a highly efficient thickener.
