Xanthan gum is a versatile polysaccharide renowned for its extensive industrial applications, especially as a prevalent food additive. It serves as a superb thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, ensuring that ingredients remain perfectly blended without separation. Crafted from simple sugars through an innovative fermentation process, its name is inspired by the specific bacterial species utilized, Xanthomonas campestris.
Xanthan gum was discovered by the brilliant Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her pioneering research team at the United States Department of Agriculture. CP Kelco introduced it to commercial production under the iconic trade name Kelzan in the transformative 1960s. Its approval for food use in 1968 marked its global acceptance as a safe and reliable food additive, recognized across the USA, Canada, European nations, and numerous other countries, identified by the E number E415 and CAS number 11138-66-2.
Xanthan gum derives its name from the species of bacteria used during the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.
