xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent commonly used in food and other products. It is made by fermenting sugar with a specific bacteria, resulting in a gel-like substance. In cooking, it helps improve the texture and consistency of sauces, dressings, and gluten-free baked goods by preventing ingredients from separating. Besides food, xanthan gum is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial products for its ability to provide viscosity. Its unique properties make it valuable for enhancing the quality of various products we use daily.
