Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum, also known as Hansheng 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, petroleum, and medicine. It is currently the largest and most widely used microbial polysaccharide in the world.
