Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum, also known as yellow gum, has a molecular weight of 200 ~ 6 million, light yellow to white movable powder. Xanthan gum is an extracellular acidic heteropoly sugar produced by the fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. It is a kind of macromolecular microbial polymer which is obtained by using carbohydrates as the main raw materials (such as corn, starch, etc.) through biological fermentation engineering culture, ethanol extraction, drying and crushing. It is composed of glucose, mannose, glucuronic acid, acetic acid and pyruvate. Xanthan gum is a new type of polysaccharide fermentation product, which is widely used in more than 20 industries such as petroleum, geology and mining, food, medicine and textile.
