Xanthan Gum - A Versatile and Natural Solution This remarkable polysaccharide serves a multitude of industrial roles. Commonly used as a food additive, it excels as a thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, ensuring ingredients remain perfectly blended and stable. Crafted from simple sugars via a specialized fermentation process, Xanthan Gum takes its distinguished name from the unique bacterium involved in its creation, Xanthomonas campestris.
The innovation of Xanthan Gum was pioneered by the esteemed Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her expert team at the USDA. This groundbreaking discovery was commercialized by CP Kelco, branded as Kelzan, during the early 1960s. Approved for widespread food use in 1968, it is lauded as a safe additive across the USA, Canada, Europe, and many more regions, identified by its E number E415 and CAS number 11138-66-2.
The name Xanthan Gum is derived from the specific bacteria central to its fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.
