xanthan gum

anthan gum is a hydrophilic biological polysaccharide derived from corn starch through fermentation with Xanthomonas campestris, followed by extraction, drying, and grinding processes. Known for its superior thickening and stabilizing properties, shear resistance, and unique pseudo-plastic rheological behavior, xanthan gum is widely used in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, and oil drilling.
