Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by fermenting a carbohydrate source with the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, then recovering, drying and milling the gum. Nustras supplies it as a free-flowing powder used as a thickener, stabiliser and suspending agent; in water it forms a viscous solution that holds its viscosity across a wide range of pH, temperature and salt conditions.

It is formulated into sauces, dressings, soups and gluten-free bakery products; into protein shakes and supplement powders, where it keeps particles in suspension; into gummies, syrups and liquid supplements; into lotions, creams and toothpaste; and into industrial fluids, paints and adhesives.

Xanthan gum is supplied as a cream-coloured powder (CAS 11138-66-2). Viscosity, particle size, loss on drying and ash are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by the pharmacopoeial gel test and by viscosity measurement. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies xanthan gum in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Xanthan gum is an accepted food additive and supplement excipient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and use for their application.
