Xanthan Gum Thickener
What is Xanthan Gum Thickener
Xanthan gum thickener is a popular food additive that's commonly added to foods as a thickener or stabilizer. It's created when sugar is fermented by a type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris. When sugar is fermented, it creates a broth or goo-like substance, which is made solid by adding an alcohol. It is then dried and turned into a powder.
Benefits of Xanthan Gum Thickener
Xanthan gum thickener a more stable viscosity than starch. Once it achieves its optimal viscosity, your food or beverage will be ready for consumption at the consistency that you want it.
Xanthan gum thickener is stable across a variety of conditions, enduring varying pH levels and temperatures. It can be used to thicken a wide variety of beverages with better results than starch. It can be heated, frozen and thawed without significant changes to viscosity. This provides the option to safely enjoy everything from a glass of ice water to your favorite hot beverage.
Both starch and xanthan gum thickener serve to reduce the risk of aspiration. A key difference, though, is that xanthan gum thickener is not affected by amylase, an enzyme present in saliva that breaks starch down into simple sugars.
Xanthan gum thickener is clear, clean and smooth in both flavor and texture, making thickened beverages more appetizing to patients. Beverages thickened with xanthan gum thickener stay true to their taste.
Xanthan gum thickener is versatile – it can be mixed into several flavored beverages and even broths, meaning dinning can be enjoyable and safe. With xanthan gum thickener, water, tea, soup, coffee, and even a glass of wine are back on the menu.

1) Acid and salt-resistant food thickening stabilizer
Xanthan gum thickener excellent salt resistance, acid and alkali resistance can completely replace the traditional thickener starch in soy sauce. It can overcome the shortcomings of starch precipitation, and can make soy sauce fine and uniform, improve wall-hanging and coloring properties, and extend shelf life. For jam, bean paste and other flavored sauces, xanthan gum thickener is used as a thickening stabilizer to make the sauce uniform, good mixing, non-caking, easy to fill, and improve the taste.
2) Food emulsifier
Xanthan gum thickener can be used as an emulsifier in various protein beverages and milk beverages to prevent oily water layer and improve protein stability, prevent protein precipitation, and can also use its emulsifying ability as a foaming agent and foam stabilizer.
3) Food filler
As a stable high-viscosity filler, xanthan gum thickener food additives can be widely used in the processing of various snacks, breads, biscuits, candies and other foods. Without changing the traditional flavor of the food, the food has a superior shape retention. Sex, longer shelf life and better taste are conducive to the diversification and industrial-scale production of these foods.
4) Food emulsion stabilizer
Used as an emulsion stabilizer in frozen foods, xanthan gum thickener food additives in ice cream and ice cream can adjust the viscosity of the mixture to make it have a uniform and stable composition, soft tissue, and improve the freeze-thaw stability of the product. When melted, the cream and water are evenly mixed, and there will be no slurry separation. The general aging time is 2～3h. The dosage is 0.2% to 0.4%.
5) Food adhesive
Xanthan gum thickener can cross-link some water-soluble powder substances, such as sodium alginate, casein, methyl cellulose and polyethylene glycol cellulose sodium salt, to make a binder. This adhesive is used in food processing to improve texture and increase film-forming properties.
How to Use Xanthan Gum Thickener in Cooking
Xanthan gum thickener functions similarly to gelatin in recipes with regards to stabilizing suspensions, but it is completely vegan, while gelatin comes from animal sources. It's also great for cooking and baking for persons with food allergies and restrictions, especially for those who are omitting gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy from their diet.
No heating or cooling is needed for xanthan gum thickener to form a gel-it does so as soon as it is in contact with a liquid. Acid and heat don't affect it, so it can be used in a wide variety of sauces and juices.
To use xanthan gum thickener in recipes, use about 1/8 teaspoon per cup of liquid and combine these in a blender, not by hand. It will "gum" almost instantly and form clumps if not constantly in motion while it is being incorporated into the liquid.
For sauces, blending the xanthan gum thickener first with a bit of oil before adding the soy milk or rice milk produces the best taste and texture, as this gives the sauce richness and depth that would normally be achieved by cream, butter or eggs. The more xanthan gum thickener is used in a liquid the thicker it will become.
Properties of Xanthan Gum Thickener
Suspension and emulsification
The chemical exhibits a great suspending effect on oil droplets and insoluble solids. The molecules of xanthan gum thickener form ribbon-like bonded spiral copolymers that further give shape to a weak network structure similar to glue. Xanthan gum thickener uses powerful emulsification stabilization and a high rate of suspension.
Thickening
Xanthan gum thickener solution offers low concentrations and increased viscosity. Xanthan aqueous solution has a higher viscosity, i.E., 0.2% more than almost every water soluble colloid. Hence it is an effective thickener.
Viscosity
Xanthan gum thickener solution usually has great viscosity during low shear or static conditions. During high shear, xanthan gum thickener lowers viscosity, however, the molecular structure remains the same. Once you reduce the shearing force, this restores the viscosity of the solution.
Heat stability
The viscosity of xanthan gum thickener solution does not differ much with the temperature change. Usually, natural polysaccharides change viscosity while heating, however, the behavior of xanthan gum thickener solution offers thermal stability and remains unchanged between 10 and 80°c. Even at the lower concentration of the aqueous solution, the viscosity remains stable while the temperature range is high.
Stability to alkali and acid
Xanthan gum thickener solution remains stable with acid and alkali, the viscosity will not get affected anywhere between 5 to 10 ph values.
Stability to salt
Xanthan gum thickener offers a great combination with mixtures of xanthan gum thickener and saline solutions and shows unchanged viscosity when they react with a salt solution.
Stability to enzymatic hydrolysis
Xanthan gum thickener has a stable double helix chemical structure, which makes it present strong anti-enzymatic and anti-oxidation properties. Several enzymes like amylase, protease, cellulose, and hemicellulase cannot degrade xanthan gum thickener.
How Is Xanthan Gum Thickener Stored
Xanthan gum thickener should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
It is recommended to store this at a temperature of 20-25°C (68-77°F) to avoid any degradation or loss of quality. Extreme temperatures can cause the gum to break down, lose its thickening properties, and form clumps.
Xanthan gum thickener is hygroscopic, which means that it can absorb moisture from the air. To prevent moisture absorption and clumping, it is recommended to store this in an airtight container. This will help maintain the gum's stability and prolong its shelf life.
Typically sold in powdered form and packaged in sealed, airtight containers to maintain its freshness and prevent contamination.
When storing this, it is important to keep it in its original packaging until it is ready to be used. If the original packaging has been opened, it is best to transfer the remaining gum to an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its quality.
Should be protected from exposure to air as much as possible, as this can cause it to clump and lose its thickening properties. If the gum is exposed to air, it is important to quickly reseal the container to prevent moisture absorption.
Xanthan gum thickener has a long shelf life when stored properly. Generally, it can be stored for up to two years without significant degradation or loss of quality.
However, the shelf life may vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to air. It is important to check the expiration date on the packaging before using this and to discard any gum that has passed its expiration date.
Xanthan gum thickener should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and exposure to air.
