Xanthan gum, also known as Hesheng gum, is internationally recognized as the most superior biogum. 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 properties. It can be used as a thickener, suspending agent, stabilizer, and binder.

Xanthan gum is a metabolite produced by the natural fermentation of Xanthomonas bacteria and has anionic characteristics, forming 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.

Naturally extracted and produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates by biological means, it has a minimal negative impact on the environment and can be cold blended.

• Xanthan gum can form gels at very low concentrations (with a low critical concentration).

• The gel formed by xanthan gum has high hardness and exhibits shear-thinning properties.

• The shear-thinning characteristic 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.
