XANTURAL®
 
Xanthan Gum USP / NF

Xanthan Gum is an exocellular heteropolysaccharide produced by fermentation. It has a unique polymeric structure where chains tends to associate forming a complex network gel-like structure. When shear is applied, these hydrogen bonds are disrupted and a flowable liquid is produced. The process reverses when shear is removed. Hence, Xanthan Gum solutions exhibit extremely high viscosity at rest and very low viscosity when force is applied.
