Xanthan Gum About

We manufacture and supply the qualitative Xanthan Gum to our consumer that is made with best quality required components with the help of latest technology which guarantee good quality and superb effective use. This item is utilized in water based and dry powder formulations. It is best choice for adding in dough for increasing yield and gives softer texture. The provided Xanthan Gum is also great to improve handling and increases shelf life. We provide the same at fixed price rate.

It is a thickeners, viscosifying agent with super suspension powder used as preservative stabilizer in water based and dry powder formulations. Xanthan Gum is used in a large number of applications as a suspending agent and emulsion stabilizer for sauces and dressings a foam enhancer in some dairy desserts and in bakery and pastry as an improver of doughs volume.

Available Grades:-

Xanthan Gum ( Regular Grade )
Xanthan Gum ( Cosmetic Grade )
Xanthan Gum ( Food & Pharma Grade )

Properties :-

Appearance : White to Cream yellowish free powder
Soluble in Water : Yes
Packing: 25 kg bag or Cartoon
Mesh : 200 and 80

Application:-

Ice-Creams/Sorbet/Popsicles:

It is useful to stabilize ice creams especially in short time, high temperature processes preventing any variation in viscosity. It gives a dry feel and slows melt down in ice creams, sorbets and popsicles.

Bakery:

Adding it to the dough increases yield, gives better/softer texture, improves handling and increases shelf life.

Pet Food:

Its ability to act as a thickener proves useful as a process aid during pet food production.

Meat:

In meat products, it acts as a lubricant and also prevents loss of weight during storage by binding moisture.

Paper Industry:

It is used as a wet end additive in the papermaking process. It improves sheet formation and physical properties.

Mining Industry:

It aids in the ore concentration process by depressing gangue material during froth flotation. As a settling agent it improves the settling rate of suspended solids in slimes. It lumps together small particles in slimes resulting in better filtration.

Cosmetics:

It thickens creams and lotions.

Explosives:

It is added to explosive mixes as its ability to swell and seal out water helps retains the properties of the mix even in wet conditions.

Oil well drilling:

It acts as a stabilizer and is used to control water flow and the flow of drilling mud.

Reliable Thickening and Stabilizing Agent

Xanthan Gum serves as a versatile thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier, delivering consistent viscosity even in challenging environments. Its compatibility with salts and proteins makes it highly effective across a range of food and industrial formulations. The product's ease of dissolution guarantees reliable texture and stability for processed foods, beverages, personal care, and oil-drilling applications alike.

Highly Pure, Safe, and Long-lasting

With a purity above 99%, low lead content (2 ppm), and free from toxic substances, Xanthan Gum ensures safety for both food-grade and industrial-grade uses. It offers a long shelf life of 24 months when kept in a cool, dry place, maintaining its performance and physical integrity over time. The fine powder - at 80 mesh - enables smooth incorporation into a wide variety of solutions.

FAQ's of Xanthan Gum:

Q: How is Xanthan Gum typically used in food and industrial applications?

A: Xanthan Gum is widely utilized as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in food products, such as sauces, dressings, and gluten-free bakery items. In industrial applications, it enhances viscosity control and stability in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, oil drilling fluids, and agricultural products.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Xanthan Gum with this viscosity and purity?

A: This Xanthan Gum offers a viscosity range of 1200-1600 cps (1% solution at 25C) and a purity greater than 99%. It provides reliable thickening, is highly compatible with salts and proteins, and ensures consistent quality and stability in formulations. It is non-toxic, odorless, and has a neutral to slightly sweet taste.

Q: When and where should Xanthan Gum be incorporated into a formulation for best results?

A: For optimal performance, Xanthan Gum should be gradually added to the aqueous phase of your formulation while stirring to ensure even dispersion and prevent lumping. It can be integrated at any stage where viscosity or stability adjustments are required, both in cold and hot processing environments.

Q: What is the recommended storage process and packaging for Xanthan Gum?

A: To preserve quality, Xanthan Gum should be stored in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is typically supplied in 25 kg fiber drums or customized packaging as per client requirements, ensuring protection during storage and transit.

Q: How does Xanthan Gum interact with other ingredients like salts and proteins?

A: Xanthan Gum exhibits broad compatibility with most salts and proteins, allowing it to maintain viscosity and stability in diverse systems, such as processed foods or cosmetic formulations. This makes it a versatile choice for complex product matrices requiring reliable texture and suspension.

Q: What is the shelf life and safety profile of Xanthan Gum for use in various industries?

A: The product remains effective for up to 24 months when stored under recommended conditions. It is non-toxic, with low levels of heavy metals and lead, and is safe for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial use as per regulatory standards.
