Xanthan gum (XanTEMPthan gum), also known as xanthan gum, is a microbial extracellular substance with a wide range of functions produced by fermentation engineering of Xanthomonas campestris with carbohydrates as the main raw material (such as corn starch). polysaccharides. It has unique rheology, good water solubility, stability to heat and acid and alkali, and good compatibility with various salts. It can be widely used as a thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It is used in more than 20 industries such as food, petroleum. It is the microbial polysaccharide with the largest production scale and extremely wide uses in the world.

1. In terms of food, xanthan gum is added to many foods as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspending agent, thickener and processing aid. Xanthan gum is widely used in salad dressings, breads, dairy products, frozen foods, beverages, condiments, brewing, confectionery, pastries, soups and canned foods.
2. In daily chemical industry, xanthan gum is a good surface active substance, and has the functions of anti-oxidation and preventing skin aging. Most high-end cosmetics use xanthan gum as their main functional ingredient. In addition, xanthan gum can be used as an ingredient in toothpaste, which can thicken and set shape and reduce tooth surface wear.
3. In the petroleum industry, due to its excellent salt resistance and heat resistance, xanthan gum is used in drilling in special environments such as oceans and high-salt formations, and can be used as an oil-displacng agent to improve oil recovery.
