Product Name: Xanthan Gum

Description:
Xanthan Gum is a natural polysaccharide widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in the beverage industry. It is produced through the fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. This versatile hydrocolloid enhances the texture, viscosity, and shelf-life of various liquid products.

Key Benefits for Beverage Production:

  • Stabilization: Prevents ingredient separation and sedimentation, ensuring a uniform texture throughout the product’s shelf life.

  • Viscosity Control: Adjusts and maintains the desired thickness and mouthfeel without affecting flavor or clarity.

  • Suspension Agent: Keeps suspended solids evenly distributed in beverages such as fruit juices, dairy drinks, and nutritional supplements.

  • Heat and pH Stability: Maintains performance in a wide range of processing conditions, including pasteurization and acidic environments.

  • Low Usage Levels: Highly efficient; typically used at 0.05% to 0.5% concentration, reducing production costs.

Applications in Beverages:

  • Fruit juices and nectars

  • Soft drinks and carbonated beverages

  • Dairy and non-dairy milk drinks

  • Nutritional and health drinks

  • Syrups and concentrates

Quality Standards:
Xanthan Gum supplied for beverage production complies with food-grade standards such as FDA, EFSA, and ISO certifications, ensuring safety and consistency.
