Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2
Sinochem is a major Xanthan Gum supplier. Meanwhile, our firm staffs a group of experts devoted to your development of China Xanthan Gum.
Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It is soluble in cold or hot water but insoluble in organic solvents. It is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and rheology control agent in foods, pharmaceuticals, and toothpaste, with particular application in cosmetics and oil drilling.
- Exceptional Rheological Control: Provides high pseudoplasticity for stable suspension of solids and emulsions.
- High Viscosity at Low Concentration: Achieves significant viscosity and gelling effects with very low usage levels, making it highly cost-effective.
- Synergistic Interactions: Exhibits synergistic viscosity enhancement when combined with other hydrocolloids, allowing for a broader range of texture and stabilization effects.

Xanthan Applications
1. Due to its unique properties, xanthan is widely used in over a dozen industries, including food, petroleum, medicine, and daily chemicals. Its high commercialization and wide range of applications are unmatched by any other microbial polysaccharide.
2. E415 is added to many foods as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickener, and processing aid.
3. Xanthan gum molecules contain numerous hydrophilic groups, making it a potent surfactant with antioxidant and anti-aging properties, making it widely used in high-end cosmetics.
4. Corn Sugar Gum can also be used as an ingredient in toothpaste, thickening and setting it, and reducing tooth surface abrasion.
5. It is a functional ingredient in microencapsulated drug capsules, playing an important role in controlling drug release. Due to its strong hydrophilicity and water-retention properties, it has a wide range of applications in specific medical procedures, such as forming a dense water film to prevent skin infections and alleviating thirst in patients after radiotherapy.
