Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a common food additive. It is an effective thickening agent and stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating. In foods, xanthan gum is used in salad dressings and sauces. It helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier. Xanthan gum also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices. Xanthan gum helps create the desired texture in many ice creams. Toothpaste often contains xanthan gum as a binder to keep the product uniform. Xanthan gum is used in wide range food products, such as sauces, dressings, meat and poultry products, bakery products, confectionery products, beverages, dairy products, others. In the oil industry, xanthan gum is used in large quantities to thicken drilling mud.

Xanthan Gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide gum produced by a pure-culture fermentation of a carbohydrate with Xanthomonas campestris, then purified by recovery with Isopropyl Alcohol, dried, and milled. It contains d-glucose and d-mannose as the dominant hexose units, along with d-glucuronic acid, and is prepared as the sodium, potassium, or calcium salt. It yields NLT 4.2% and NMT 5.0% of carbon dioxide, calculated on the dried basis, corresponding to NLT 91.0% and NMT 108.0% of Xanthan Gum.
