Gellan gum is a polymer produced by fermentation of a medium by the microorganism Sphingomonas elodea. The extracellular polysaccharide is recovered after the fermentation process to produce either high acyl or low acyl gellan gum. High acyl gellan is directly recovered after fermentation via alcohol precipitation.

Tara gum is a seed gum similar to guar and locust bean gums. It is obtained from the ground endosperm of seeds from the Caesalpina spinosa plant, typically found in the mountains of Peru. Like guar and locust bean gums, tara gum is classified as a galactomannon and is composed of mannose and galactose sugars. The ratio of mannose to galactose is 3:1, where guar and locust bean gums are 2:1 and 4:1 respectively.

Locust Bean Gum (LBG) is a Natural food additive derived from the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), prevalent in the Mediterranean region. The elongated pods of carob tree are coarsely ground, then separated as two fractions, pulp and seed. Locust bean gum, or LBG, is derived from the endosperm of the seed fraction. Product grades are determned by water viscosity, powder color/purity and particle size.

Xanthan 200 a fine mesh product with very rapid hydration making it suitable for dry mix formulations

Xanthan CG cosmetic grade xanthan that meets the specifications set forth in NF/USP. Suitable for cosmetic and personal care applications

Gellan gum is a polymer produced by fermentation of a medium by the microorganism Sphingomonas elodea. The extracellular polysaccharide is recovered after the fermentation process to produce either high acyl or low acyl gellan gum. Low acyl (LA Gellan) gellan gum is instead treated with an alkali solution before the alcohol precipitation, consequently resulting in deacylation of the gellan gum.

Quik-Xan an agglomerated product that provides a combination of easy dispersion, rapid hydration, and very low dust
