Xanthan Gum is a thickener and emulsion stabilizer especially for the formulation of liquid animal feed supplements or calf milk replacers
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates, primarily corn sugar. It is widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, animal feed, and cosmetics, as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent. With its unique properties, xanthan gum is particularly valued in the food industry for its ability to create viscosity and texture in a wide range of products, including sauces, dressings, soups, and baked goods. It enhances the stability and shelf life of food products, prevents ingredient separation, and provides a smooth mouthfeel. Moreover, xanthan gum is utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as a suspending agent and in cosmetics as a thickener and stabilizer in lotions, creams, and toothpaste. In animal feed, it is a thickener and emulsion stabilizer especially for the formulation of liquid animal feed supplements or calf milk replacers. Due to its natural origin and versatility, xanthan gum has become a staple ingredient in numerous commercial products, contributing to their texture, appearance, and overall quality.
