Applications:

Xanthan gum is used as a stabiliser, thickener, emulsifier and gelling agent (in binary systems with locust bean gum forming elastic gels). Its pseudoplastic character, high resistance to pH and temperature variations and compatibility with most salts present in food makes it suitable for use in juices, beverages, dressings, dairy products, sauces, confectionery, syrups...

How to use

Dispersion
Sprinkle the amount of Xanthan gum to be used on top of one litre of liquid. Stir with a blender until thickened. Dissolves both hot and cold. Thickens all types of sauces without making them opaque. Does not lose thickening properties even when heated.
Note: in acidified aqueous solution its gelling capacity decreases.

4-10g per liter of liquid xanthan.
