Product Description
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.
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.

Detailed Photos
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.
In terms of daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, making it a good surfactant with antioxidant and anti-aging effects.

Application
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. In recent years, people in more developed countries have often been concerned about the high calorific value in food, which can lead to weight gain. Xanthan gum has dispelled this concern because it cannot be directly degraded by the human body. In addition, according to a report from Japan in 1985, a comparative test was conducted on eleven food additives, and xanthan gum was the most effective anticancer agent among them.
2. In terms of daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, making it a good surfactant with antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Therefore, 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.
3. In terms of medicine, xanthan gum is a functional component in the currently popular microcapsule drug capsule materials internationally, playing an important role in controlling drug release; Due to its strong hydrophilicity and water retention, it has many specific medical applications, such as forming a dense water film to avoid skin infections; Reduce thirst in patients after radiation therapy. In addition, Li Xin and Xu Lei have written articles pointing out that xanthan gum itself has a significant enhancing effect on the humoral immune function of mice.
4. Application in industry and agriculture: In the petroleum industry, due to its strong pseudoplasticity, a low concentration of xanthan gum (0.5%) aqueous solution can maintain the viscosity of drilling fluid and control its rheological properties. Therefore, the viscosity is extremely low at the high-speed rotating drill bit, saving power; However, high viscosity is maintained in the relatively stationary drilling area to prevent wellbore collapse. And due to its excellent salt resistance and heat resistance, it is widely used in drilling in special environments such as oceans and high salt zones, and can be used as an oil recovery and displacement agent to reduce dead oil zones and improve oil recovery rates.
