Xanthan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate with Xanthomonas campestris. It is soluble in cold or hot water, but not soluble in organic solvent.It can be used as a thinckener or a stabilizer and rehoolosy control agent for food, pharmaceutical, especially at cosmetic and oil drilling applications widely.Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical Grade Xanthan Gum can be used as thickener and stabilizer in liquid or ointment medicine, cosmetic, oral care products and household lotion. Little consumption (0.1-0.2%) of Xanthan gum can bring magic effectiveness,such as improving ointment-shape and mouth-feeling, preventing medicine-delamination, convenient forfeeding & extrusion, helping products dispersion & absorbability, increasing the wet-keeping & film-forming ability, extending the painting effect, and so on.
