- General Properties
Xanoluc is used as a stabilizer and thickener, suspending agent, bodying agent, retarded drug release agent in food and pharmaceutical applications. Its main properties are:
- Soluble in hot and cold water.
- High viscosity at low concentration.
- High pseudoplasticity.
- Very resistant to pH variations.
- Highly resistant to temperature variations.
- High stabilizing properties.
- Excellent freeze/thaw stability.
- Highly resistant to enzymatic degradation.
- Compatible with all commercial thickeners and stabilizers.
- Chemically it consists primarily of 1, 4-linked β-D-glucose backbone with side chains containing to mannose and one glucuronic acid on every other glucose at the C-3 position. Approximately half of the terminal mannose units carry a pyruvic acid residue and the non-terminal residue usually carries an acetyl group at C-6.
Applications & Uses

- Preparation of Solutions
Xanoluc is a hydrophilic biopolymer readily soluble in cold and hot water. Rapid dissolution requires even dispersion of Xanoluc particles in the aqueous medium. For that reason, intense agitation of the solution is necessary when introducing Xanoluc. Insufficient dispersion will cause lumps. Pre-blending Xanoluc with other dry ingredients or pre-suspending it in oil or alcohol facilitates the preparation of Xanoluc solutions.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
This product is available in 25 Kg laminated paper bags as a moisture barrier.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Details
- Store product in a dry and cool place, away from heat and out of the sun. Once package is opened, consume within reasonable time. Store opened and unused packages after adequate re-sealing to avoid contamination and moisture ingress. Shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.
- Xanoluc solutions, however, although more resistant to microbial attack than most other water soluble polymers, should be protected by adequate preservatives when storage time shall exceed 24 hours. Xanoluc is compatible with most commonly used preservatives.
