Xanthan Gum - a unique thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier in powder, ideal for gluten-free recipes
Xanthan Gum is a popular thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier in powder form, which is part of several foods and consumer products. It is a polysaccharide produced through fermentation by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It has no taste or smell, so you may not even know that you have already tasted xanthan gum. Furthermore, it can be used in dressings, pastries, soups, fruit juices, ice cream or sauces. Its unique properties improve the consistency, texture and flexibility of foods.
Xanthan Gum is often referred to as a secret ingredient of gluten-free recipes. This is because it is used mainly to bake gluten-free goodies, where it perfectly replaces gluten. Thanks to its properties, the pastry has fluffy texture and does not crumble. However, xanthan gum is also suitable for thickening meals for people who avoid dairy products, eggs or gluten. When combined with water, xanthan gum forms a gel similar to gelatin. Unlike gelatine, however, xanthan gum is obtained only from plant sources, and therefore it is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
