Food-grade xanthan gum powder is a natural polysaccharide food additive produced by microbial fermentation. It has multiple functions such as thickening, emulsification, stabilization, and suspension, and is widely used in the food industry and other fields.
Food-grade xanthan gum powder, when used in baked goods, improves the water retention and softness of baked goods during baking and storage, thus improving texture and extending shelf life.
In meat products, it tenderizes and improves water retention.
In frozen foods, it thickens and stabilizes the food structure.
Adding food-grade xanthan gum powder to jams improves texture and water retention, enhancing product quality.
In beverages, it acts as a thickener and suspending agent, resulting in a smooth texture and natural flavor.
Using food-grade xanthan gum powder (in combination with guar gum and locust bean gum) in ice cream and dairy products stabilizes the products.
Food-grade xanthan gum powder, in combination with carrageenan and locust bean gum, is also commonly used in jelly and confectionery processing.
