Product name:Xanthan gum
CAS:*********2
Product Description:Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide, derived from
the bacterial coat of Xanthomonas campestris, used as a food
additive and rheology modifier,commonly used as a food thickening
agent (in salad dressings, for example) and a stabilizer (in
cosmetic products, for example, to prevent ingredients from
separating). It is produced by the fermentation of glucose,
sucrose, or lactose by the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. After
a fermentation period, the polysaccharide is precipitated from a
growth medium with isopropyl alcohol, dried, and ground into a fine
powder. Later, it is added to a liquid medium to form the gum.
