Product Information
Product Nature
Physical Properties:
· Appearance: White or light yellow powder with good flowability.
· Solubility: Soluble in both cold and hot water with fast dissolution rate, forming a transparent or semi-transparent solution.
· Viscosity: Very low dosage (typically 0.1%-0.5%) yields high viscosity.
Chemical & Functional Properties:
· Pseudoplasticity (Shear-Thinning): Its solution exhibits high viscosity at rest, providing excellent suspension and stability to products. Under shear (e.g., pouring, mixing, pumping), viscosity decreases rapidly, facilitating processing and providing a smooth mouthfeel.
· Outstanding Stability: Maintains viscosity stability across a wide temperature range (from freezing to high-temperature sterilization), broad pH range (3-12), and high salt concentrations. Resistant to enzymatic degradation.
· Synergistic Effects: Shows significant synergistic viscosity enhancement or gelling when used with other gums like guar gum and locust bean gum.
· Suspending Ability: Effectively suspends pulp, spices, and solid particles, preventing sedimentation and separation.
Product Usage
Condiments & Sauces:
· Salad Dressings, Mayonnaise: Provides stable emulsification and thickening, preventing oil-water separation.
· Ketchup, BBQ Sauce: Imparts good viscosity and suspension, improving cling and mouthfeel.
Beverages:
· Fruit Juices, Nectars: Suspends pulp, maintaining product uniformity.
· Protein Drinks, Dairy Beverages: Stabilizes proteins, preventing precipitation.
· Concentrated Beverages: Provides good mouthfeel and body.
Bakery Products:
· Gluten-Free Bread, Cakes: Mimics gluten network, providing gas retention and volume.
· Fillings: Thickens and stabilizes fillings, preventing boil-out during baking.
Dairy Products:
· Yogurt, Sour Cream: Improves texture and prevents syneresis (whey separation).
· Ice Cream: Increases overrun, improves melt-resistance and texture.
Meat Products:
· Sausages, Hams: Acts as a water binder and adhesive, improving sliceability and yield.
Frozen Foods:
· Enhances freeze-thaw stability, reducing ice crystal formation and texture damage.
Safety Matters
Health Hazards:
· Food Grade Xanthan Gum is safe for human consumption. It is approved as a safe food additive by major global food safety authorities (e.g., JECFA, EFSA, FDA) with an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) 'not specified'.
· Significant inhalation of dust may cause mild respiratory irritation.
Handling Protection:
· When handling powder in industrial settings, work in a well-ventilated area and wear a dust mask to minimize dust inhalation.
· Avoid eye contact with dust.
· Wash hands after handling.
Storage & Transportation:
· Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, clean warehouse dedicated to food raw materials. Strictly protect from moisture. Must be strictly segregated from non-food chemicals and odorous materials.
· Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption, caking, and microbial contamination.
Usage Advice:
· Dissolution is Key: Pre-blend xanthan gum with other dry ingredients like sugar or salt in the formula, then slowly add this mixture to water under high-speed agitation to effectively prevent lump formation ("fisheyes").
· High Efficiency at Low Dosage: Typical usage concentration ranges from 0.05% to 0.5%. Overuse may lead to excessive thickness or a gummy texture.
Quality & Compliance:
· Ensure the product complies with the food additive regulations and standards of the target country/region (e.g., China GB 1886.41, US FDA 21 CFR 172.695, EU E E415).
· Obtain a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) confirming food grade compliance from the supplier, paying attention to microbiological and heavy metal limits.
