Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a common food additive. It is an effective thickening agent and stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating. It can be produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process, and derives its name from the species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris.
Xanthan gum is a pond of extracellular microorganisms produced by sugar intoxication by Xanthomonas. Due to its special structure and colloidal properties of macromolecules, it has a variety of functions. It can be used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, gel thickener, wetting agent, film forming agent, etc., and is widely used in various fields of the national economy.
As food Additive
Acid-resisting salt-tolerant thickening stabilizer
Be applicable to various kinds of juice beverage, fruit juice concentrate, food with seasoning (such as soybean sauce, oyster sauce, salad sauce). The stabilization effect of Xanthan gum is obviously batter than other gum. It is with extremely strong heat stability so that ordinary high temperature sterilization has no effect to it.
Emulsifier
As an emulsifier, it is applied in various kinds of protein drink, milk beverage, etc to prevent oil-water stratification and improve protein stability, prevent protein sediment. It is also used as foaming agent and foam stabilizer based on its emulsifying capacity.
Filling agent
As stable high viscosity filler, it can be applied in processing of various kinds of dessert, bread, biscuit, candy, etc. Under the condition that the traditional flavor of the food is not changed, it can make the food with more preferable shape preserving property, longer expiration period and batter taste. It is beneficial to the food diversification and industrialization scale production. In the production process of various kinds of frozen foods, xanthan gum it is with function for preventing water loss, delaying aging and prolonging quality guarantee period.
Emulsion stabilizer
As an emulsion stabilizer, it is applied in frozen foods. In ice cream, sorbet, xanthan gum can adjust the viscosity of mixture and make its composition uniform and stable and its tissue soft and smooth. Since the relation between the viscosity of xanthan gum and temperature has plasticity and shearing property, during the processing, its viscosity is reduced and the resistance is decreased, so that it is in favor of processing; however, during the aging stage, viscosity is recovered so that it is beneficial to improving expansion rate, preventing the generation of large ice particles in ice cream tissue and making the taste of ice cream more fine and smooth. Meanwhile, it also improves the freeze-thaw stabilization of the product.
Application in flour product
In flour product, xanthan gum is a kind of additive worth being promoted. In the producing process of fine dried noodles, noodles and instant noodles, the added xanthan gum can improve gluten power of dough; the dough sheet extruded is with toughness and is reduced broken rate after drying, meanwhile it also improve taste and make it chewy, fresh and smooth; for frying cooking, it also can save oil and reduce cooking cost.
Other application
Except for the applications above, xanthan gum is also widely used in processing of meat food, fruit and vegetable fresh-keeping cans and other foods.
1. Suspension and emulsification
Xanthan gum has a good suspension effect on insoluble solids and oil droplets. Xanthan gum sol molecules can form a super-bonded ribbon-like spiral copolymer to form a fragile glue-like network structure, so it can support the shape of solid particles, droplets and bubbles, showing strong emulsification stabilization and high suspension ability.
2. Good water solubility
Xanthan gum can quickly dissolve in water and has good water solubility.
3. Thickening
Xanthan gum solution has the characteristics of low concentration and high viscosity (the viscosity of 1% aqueous solution is equivalent to 100 times that of gelatin), and it is an efficient thickener.
4. Pseudoplasticity
The aqueous solution of xanthan gum has high viscosity under static or low shear action. Under high shear action, the viscosity drops sharply, but the molecular structure remains unchanged.
5. Stability to heat
6. Stability to acid and alkali
The xanthan gum solution is very stable to acid and alkali, and its viscosity is not affected when the pH is 5-10. When the pH is less than 4 and greater than 11, the viscosity changes slightly.
7. Stability to salt
Xanthan gum solution can be miscible with many salt solutions (potassium salt, sodium salt, calcium salt, magnesium salt, etc.), and the viscosity is not affected.
8. Stability to enzymatic hydrolysis
The stable double helix structure of xanthan gum makes it have strong anti-oxidation and anti-enzymatic ability. Many enzymes such as protease, amylase, cellulase and hemicellulase cannot degrade xanthan gum.
