Useful:

• Description: Xanthan Gum is a long chain polysaccharide, which is made by mixing fermented sugars (glucose, mannose, and glucuronic acid) with a certain kind of bacteria. It is mainly used to thicken and stabilize emulsions, foams, and suspensions. Xanthan gum is widely used as a food additive to control the rheological properties of a wide range of food products. In manufacturing, xanthan gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in toothpastes and medicines. It is used to make medicine for lowering blood sugar and total cholesterol in people with diabetes. It is used as a laxative. Xanthan gum is sometimes used as a saliva substitute in people with dry mouth (Sjogren's syndrome).
• Uses: Xanthan Gum is a gum obtained by microbial fermentation from the xanthomonas campestris organism. it is very stable to viscosity change over varying temperatures, ph, and salt concentrations. it is also very pseudoplastic which results in a decrease in viscosity with increasing shear. it reacts synergistically with guar gum and tara gum to provide an increase in viscosity and with carob gum to provide an increase in viscosity or gel formation. it is used in salad dressings, sauces, desserts, baked goods, and beverages at 0.05–0.50%. In foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics as stabilizer and thickening agent. For rheology control in water-based systems. In oil and gas drilling and completion fluids. xanthan gum (corn starch gum) serves as a texturizer, carrier agent, and gelling agent in cosmetic preparations. It also stabilizes and thickens formulations. This gum is produced through a fermentation of carbohydrate and Xanthomonas campestris.

Technology Process of Xanthan gum

There total 2 articles about Xanthan gum which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

D-glucose (50-99-7) + succinic acid (110-15-6) + 2-oxo-propionic acid (127-17-3) → xanthan (11138-66-2)

Guidance literature:

With hydrogenchloride; ammonium sulfate; potassium dihydrogenphosphate; magnesium sulfate heptahydrate; iron(III) chloride hexahydrate; boric acid; glutamate; citric acid; calcium carbonate; zinc(II) oxide; In water; at 28 ℃; for 96h; pH=7; Microbiological reaction;

Reference yield:

succinic acid (110-15-6) + 2-oxo-propionic acid (127-17-3) + Sucrose (57-50-1) → xanthan (11138-66-2)
