Xanthan Gum is a versatile polysaccharide renowned for its wide array of industrial applications, particularly as a popular food additive. This exceptional compound serves as an efficient thickening agent, emulsifier, and stabilizer, effectively preventing the separation of ingredients. It is crafted from simple sugars through a sophisticated fermentation process, deriving its name from the specific bacterial species utilized, Xanthomonas campestris.
Xanthan gum was discovered by the visionary Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her dedicated research team at the United States Department of Agriculture. It was subsequently brought into commercial production by CP Kelco under the trade name Kelzan in the early 1960s. Approved for food use in 1968, Xanthan Gum has earned recognition as a safe and reliable food additive across the USA, Canada, Europe, and numerous other countries, sporting the E number E415 and CAS number 11138-66-2.
Xanthan gum derives its prestigious name from the bacterial species employed in the fermentation process, Xanthomonas campestris.
