Xanthan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide, a polymer consisting of sugars, which is produced through the bacterial fermentation of glucose by the bacteria species Xanthomonas campestris. Xanthan gum is a very common thickener and stabilizer in the food industry. It is soluble in water and forms a very viscous gelatinous suspension.

In terms of dosage, the amount of Xanthan gum used depends on the specific product and the desired effect. However, in general, the amount ranges from 0.1% to 0.5% of the total weight of the product.

The functionalities of Xanthan gum include thickening, stabilization, emulsification, suspension and gel formation. In addition, it has the ability to withstand high temperatures, salts and acidic pHs.

Xanthan gum is widely used in the food industry for various products such as sauces, creams, ice cream, beverages, baby food, baked goods, low-fat products, and other food products.
