The introduction of Xanthan gum:
Xanthan gum is a kind of microbial exopolysaccharide which is produced by Xanthomonas wild rape with carbohydrate as main raw material (such as corn starch) through fermentation engineering. It with unique rheological property, good water solubility, on the thermal stability and acid and alkali, and a variety of salts has good compatibility, as thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, can be widely used in food, oil, medicine and so on more than 20 industries, is currently the world's largest production and has a wide range of USES of microbial polysaccharides.
The Application & Function of Xanthan gum:
1, food: many foods are added to xanthan gum as a stabilizer, emulsifier, suspension agent, thickening agent and processing aid. Xanthan gum can control the rheology, structure, flavor and appearance of the product, and its false plasticity can ensure good taste, so it is widely used in salad dressing, bread, dairy products, frozen food, beverage, condiment, brewing, candy, pastry, soup and canned food. In recent years, people in more developed countries tend to worry that the calorific value of food is too high and will make them fat. Xanthan gum can not be directly degraded by the human body to dispel this concern. In addition, it was reported in Japan in 1985 that xanthan gum was the most effective anticancer agent among eleven food additives tested in comparison.
2, daily chemical industry: Xanthan gum molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, is a good surface active substance, and has antioxidant, prevent skin aging and other effects, therefore, almost the vast majority of high-grade cosmetics are Xanthan gum as its main functional components. In addition, xanthan gum can also be used as a substance of toothpaste to thicken and set, and reduce tooth surface wear.
3. Medical aspects: Xanthan gum is a functional component in microcapsule drug materials that is currently hot in the world, and plays an important role in controlling the slow release of drugs. Due to its strong hydrophilicity and water retention, there are many specific medical applications, such as the formation of a dense water film, so as to avoid skin infection; Relieving thirst after radiotherapy. In addition, Li Xin and Xu Lei have written that xanthan gum itself can significantly enhance the humoral immunity function of mice.
