Xanthan Gum Xanthan gum is a versatile polysaccharide renowned for its myriad industrial applications, most notably as an essential food additive. This powerhouse ingredient serves as a potent thickening agent, an outstanding emulsifier, and a reliable stabilizer that ensures ingredients remain unified and do not separate. Crafted through a fermentation process from simple sugars, xanthan gum owes its name to the bacteria species from which it originates, Xanthomonas campestris.
The discovery of xanthan gum was a breakthrough byAllene Rosalind Jeanes and her esteemed research team at the United States Department of Agriculture. It was brought into the realm of commercial production by CP Kelco under the well-known trade name Kelzan in the early 1960s. Officially sanctioned for culinary use in 1968, xanthan gum is globally acknowledged as a safe food additive, embraced across the USA, Canada, European countries, and numerous other nations, designated with the E number E415 and the CAS number 11138-66-2.
The name xanthan gum is inspired by the species of bacteria utilized during its fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.
