Xanthan gum is a microbial polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. This versatile ingredient functions as a thickener, stabilizer and suspension agent in a wide array of applications including food, beverages, personal care, oral care and more. It exhibits excellent freeze-thaw stability, as well as salt, acid and alkali tolerance across a wide range of pH values, making it one of the most widely used bio-based hydrocolloids.

FS 510: Amylase-free, low microbial content, stable viscosity
DH 540: High transparency, rapid dispersion and dissolution, stable viscosity
PC 520: High transparency, excellent film-forming property, high suspension ability, low microbial content, pleasant skin feel
TP 530: High transparency, cellulase-free, good foaming and lubricating properties, good compatibility with other hydrocolloids, low microbial content
