What is Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan Gum is a thickening and stability agent in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and industrial businesses. Most produced Xanthan Gum is sold as an off-white to cream powder, to either an 80 or 200 Mesh with no distinct odour or taste.

In terms of production, the fermentation of sucrose and glucose results in the production of Xanthan Gum. The fermentation occurs due to bacteria, with an aeration stage until you get a xanthan polymer (a gel-like substance). It is then purified, dried and milled to its final product form.

Xanthan Gum finds widespread applications across multiple industries in the UK, including food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. In the food industry, it is a thickening and stability agent in several products. It also improves the texture and consistency of sauces, dressings, bakery items, and dairy products. Xanthan Gum is additionally of use in gluten-free baking, where it helps mimic the elasticity and structure typically provided by gluten. The Beverage Industry also uses it to prevent sedimentation, improving the suspension of particles in fruit juices, carbonated drinks, and protein beverages. With these features, syrups, ice creams, soups, fruit juices and more use Xanthan Gum to create a thicker and richer texture for their products.

Beyond the food and beverage industries, Xanthan Gum has applications in the cosmetic industry as a thickener, emulsifier, and Stabilizer. These products include moisturisers, shampoos, balms and toothpaste to create a thick, uniform & smooth final product. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as an excipient in drug formulations to provide a consistent suspension of active ingredients whilst making oral medicines more stable.

Additionally, Xanthan Gum finds application in various industrial processes, such as oil drilling, cosmetics, and personal care products, where its thickening and emulsifying properties are valuable. It's versatility and wide range of applications make Xanthan Gum a popular ingredient in many products across different sectors. Paints, adhesives, grouts & textile printing also use Xanthan Gum as a thickener and suspender.

Due to its versatile nature and valuable functional properties, Xanthan Gum has become a go-to ingredient in many UK industries, contributing to improved product quality and performance.
