Xanthan gum, also known as Hesheng gum, is internationally recognized as the most superior biogum with excellent properties. It is soluble in cold/hot water, possesses high viscosity, and has high resistance to acid/alkali/salt/heat, as well as suspension and thixotropy. It can be used as a thickener, suspending agent, stabilizer, and binder.
Xanthan gum is a metabolite produced by the fermentation of Xanthomonas bacteria, which has anionic characteristics and forms a double helix structure when dissolved in water.
The thickening and stabilizing properties of xanthan gum have a wide range of applications, such as in skincare, hair care, and oral care products.
Naturally extracted and produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates, it has a minimal negative impact on the environment and can be cold blended.
• Xanthan gum can interact at very low concentrations to form gels (with a low critical concentration).
• The gel formed by xanthan gum has high hardness. (This sentence is repeated multiple times, which seems to be an error. It is only translated once here for clarity.)
• The shear-thinning property of xanthan gum allows for better flowability and spreadability, making it suitable for pumpable and sprayable formulations.
• Xanthan gum can form a network structure when at rest, with intermolecular interactions providing suspension capabilities.
• Xanthan gum has good viscoelasticity; it can return to its initial state when external forces are removed.
