Product Description

Xanthan gum, also known as Hansheng gum, is a widely used microbial extracellular polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris with carbohydrate as the main raw material (such as corn starch) through fermentation engineering. It has unique rheology, good water solubility, stability to heat and acid-base, and good compatibility with a variety of salts. As a thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier and stabilizer, it can be widely used in more than 20 industries such as food, petroleum and medicine. It is a microbial polysaccharide with the largest production scale and wide application in the world.

Application

Due to its unique properties, xanthan gum is widely used in more than a dozen fields such as food, petroleum, medicine and daily chemical industry. Its high degree of commercialization and wide range of application are beyond the reach of any other microbial polysaccharide.

1.Food: Xanthan gum is added to many foods as stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickener and processing auxiliary agent. Xanthan gum can control the rheology, structure, flavor and appearance of products, and its pseudoplasticity can ensure good taste. Therefore, it is widely used in salad seasoning, bread, dairy products, frozen food, beverage, condiment, brewing, candy, pastry, soup and canned food. In recent years, people in more developed countries often worry that the calorific value in food is too high to make themselves fat. Xanthan gum dispels this concern because it cannot be directly degraded by the human body. In addition, according to a report in Japan in 1985, xanthan gum is the most effective anticancer agent in the comparative test of 11 food additives.

2. Daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum contains a large number of hydrophilic groups. It is a good surfactant and has the effects of anti-oxidation and preventing skin aging. Therefore, almost most high-end cosmetics take xanthan gum as its main functional component. In addition, xanthan gum can also be used as a component of toothpaste to thicken and shape the essence and reduce the wear on the surface of teeth.
3. In medicine: Xanthan gum is a functional component of microcapsule drug capsule material, which plays an important role in controlling drug sustained release; Because of its strong hydrophilicity and water retention, it has many applications in specific medical operations, such as forming a dense water film to avoid skin infection; Reduce the patient’s thirst after radiotherapy. In addition, Li Xin and Xu Lei once wrote that xanthan gum itself can significantly enhance the humoral immune function of mice.
4. Application in industry and Agriculture: in the petroleum industry, due to its strong pseudoplasticity, the low concentration of xanthan gum (0.5%) aqueous solution can maintain the viscosity of drilling fluid and control its rheological properties. Therefore, the viscosity of the bit rotating at high speed is very small and the power is saved; However, it maintains high viscosity in the relatively static drilling part, so as to prevent the borehole wall from collapsing. And because of its excellent salt resistance and heat resistance, it is widely used in drilling in special environments such as ocean and high salt zone, and can be used as oil displacement agent to reduce dead oil area and improve oil recovery rate.

 Chemical properties

Xanthan gum is a light yellow to white flowable powder with a slight odor. Easily soluble in cold and hot water, neutral solution, resistant to freezing and thawing, insoluble in ethanol. Disperse and emulsify with water to become a stable hydrophilic viscous colloid.

 Storage

Sealed and avoid leak,stored in a cool,dry and ventilated area.
