New xanthan gum enhances functionality.

Emerging Food R&D Report | February 1, 2003 | Copyright

As you may know, xanthan gum is a viscous polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. The efficient stabilization and suspension properties of xanthan are related to its structural features. These include a high molecular weight and extended conformation that result from its stiff cellulosic backbone and double helical conformation.

It appears that the level of acetate and pyruvate substituents on xanthan gum can affect its structural and functional properties. CP Kelco was the first company to commercialize a food-grade xanthan gum ...
