Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

• Xanthan gum is soluble in both hot and cold water

• The key advantages to using xanthan gum are that it imparts high viscosity solutions at low concentrations it is stable over a wide range of pH levels and temperatures and it is compatible with applications containing salt and enzymes. Solutions of xanthan gum exhibit a pseudoplastic rheology; as shear forces are increased the viscosity decreases and as shear forces are decreased the apparent viscosity increases again

• This characteristic is employed to suspend particles at rest and stabilize emulsions while promoting ease of pumping and pouring. Xanthan gum is synergistic with locust bean gum and tara gum to form thermo-reversible gels and with guar gum to provide enhanced viscosity.
