What is Xanthan Gum ?
Xanthan Gum is made from Xanthomnas campestris and carbohydrate such as corn starch by fermentation engineering. It has unique fluidity, good water -soluble, stability of heat and acid and alkali, and good compatibility with a variety of salt. It is used in more than 20 industries such as food, oil, and medicine. It is currently the largest production scale in the world and extremely widely used microbial polysaccharides.
Xanthan Gum is light yellow to white flowing powder, with a slight smell. It is easy to dissolve in cold, hot water, the solution is neutral, frozen and frozen, and insoluble in ethanol. In case of water dispersion and emulsification, it becomes stable hydrophilic viscosity.

Product Details
The Features of Xanthan Gum
Xanthan Gum has a good suspension effect on insoluble solids and oil droplets.
Xanthan Gum can also be dissolved in cold water. It has good water solubility and has a strong hydrophilicity.
The viscosity of xanthan gum solution at low concentration is also very high, and it is an efficient thickener.
The relationship between shearing action and viscosity are totally malleable. The pseudoplasticity is very outstanding.
The viscosity of xanthan gum will not change greatly with changes in temperature.
Xanthan gum solution is very stable on the acid and alkali, and the viscosity is hardly affected at different PH value.
Xanthan Gum solution can be dissolved with many salt solutions, and the viscosity is not affected.
The stable double helix structure of xanthan gum is with extremely strong anti-oxidation and anti-oxidation performance.
How To Use Xanthan Gum ?
Xanthang Gum has a strong hydrophilicity. When it enters the water, its outermost layer is in contact with water, and immediately absorb a lot of water, so that the volume expansion to form rubber balls, prevent other water from entering the inner layer. In thi case , xanthan gum cannot come into its roles .. The right using method is very important .
Take a part of the Xanthan Gum with ten or more other dry raw materials, such as sugar, monosodium glutamate and other objects in food production, and then slowly pour in the stirred water, and continue to stir until completely dissolved.
How to Identify the Purity of Xanthan Gum ?
In some of the xanthan gum products, due to the poor process control, a large amount of starch is residual, resulting in low purity of xanthan gum. In order to increase viscosity and reduce costs, guar gum and other ingredients were added to xanthan gum. The following method can effectively identify the quality of xanthan gum.
* The method of identifying guar gum in xanthan gum:
Match xanthan gum into a 1% aqueous solution, observe the solution state after being soaked, stirred, detect the viscosity, and then add 1%borax. The solution of xanthan gum with guar gum added will form clumps . When detecting viscosity, the viscosity will increase greatly.
* The method of adding or residual starch in xanthan gum:
Match the xanthan gum into a 1%aqueous solution,then observe the solution state after being soaked, stirred, and then drip into 2 to 4 drops of iodine solution reagents into the aqueous solution. If the solution turns blue , that means s large amount of starch is residual or a large amount of starch is added.
The above methods are for reference.

In the petroleum industry, due to its strong pseudo -plasticity, the low -concentration of Xanthan Gum (0.5%) aqueous solution can maintain the viscosity of the drilling fluid and control its flowing performance. Therefore, the viscosity of the drill head at a high -speed rotation is extremely small, saving power; However, it keeps high viscosity at the relatively static drilling area, thereby preventing the wall from collapse. 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 regions, and can be used as petroleum-removing petroleum -repellent to reduce the petroleum area and increase the petroleum collection rate.

Knowledge
Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum are two similar gums, but they are different in many aspects, including ingredients, texture, and costs. Xanthan Gum is obtained by fermentation of corn. Guar Gum is extracted from the embryo of the beanic plant, and its place of origin is in Pakistan and India. In baking food, Xanthan Gum is more likely to produce fluffy baked goods than Guar Gum. In terms of price, Guar Gum is cheaper than Xanthan Gum.
