Food Grade Xanthan Gum as Thickener for Food Production CAS No.11138-66-2

Xanthan Gum (CAS:11138-66-2) is high-quality food-grade biological polysaccharide produced by microbial fermentation of corn starch. It is off-white free-flowing fine powder with good cold-water solubility, outstanding thickening, suspending and emulsifying performance. Even under wide temperature and pH range, its aqueous solution maintains stable viscosity, excellent anti-freeze and salt-resistant property, which makes it one of the most widely used safe food thickeners, stabilizers and suspension agents compliant with international food additive standards.

Applications

• **Beverage Industry**: Applied in fruit juices, vegetable protein drinks, energy drinks and concentrated syrups, effectively suspend fruit pulp and fine particles, prevent liquid stratification and sedimentation, enhance mouthfeel and extend shelf stability under variable storage temperature.
• **Sauce & Condiment Production**: Essential thickener for tomato ketchup, salad dressing, chili sauce and oyster sauce, avoid water separating out from finished sauces, keep uniform flowing texture and stable consistency during high-temperature sterilization and long-term storage.
• **Bakery & Confectionery**: Added into bread, cakes, fillings and pastries to lock internal moisture, slow down starch aging, prevent baked goods from drying and cracking, improve product softness and prolong shelf life.
• **Frozen Food Field**: Used in ice cream, sorbet and frozen dumpling fillings, restrain large ice crystal formation during freezing and thawing processes, improve smooth taste and reduce product cracking after unfreezing.
• **Meat Processing**: Incorporated into sausages, ham and minced meat products to strengthen water retention capacity, boost finished product yield, keep meat tender texture and avoid dehydration shrinkage during cooking.
• **Dairy Products**: Used in yoghurt, flavored milk and milk puddings for mild thickening and stabilization, improve product texture and prevent whey precipitation.
