Xanthan gum is one of the most widely used colloids in food industry. It is a high molecular weight polysaccharide with a special molecular structure, produced by fermentation of carbohydrates with xanthomonas campestris.

Unlike other gums, xanthan gum is very stable under a wide range of temperatures and pH. One of the most remarkable properties of xanthan gum is the capability of producing a large increase in the viscosity of a liquid by adding a very small quantity of gum. It could be used as thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier and suspending agent for numerous applications, covering a broad spectrum and range from the food, pharmaceutical industries to oil drilling.

We CBH can offer a range of xanthan gum for different applications, including food, petfood, and pharmaceutical grade.
