Product function categories and applications

1. Xanthan gum is a special substance that has many uses, especially in food and cosmetics. It can help stick the different ingredients together, making the ingredients in the product better mix together.

2. It can increase the viscosity of the product, just like applying a thick layer on a mask to make it easier to apply, xanthan gum can help keep the product better maintained on the skin.

3, It can also be used as "stabilizers". Xanthan gum can help the product to maintain stability under different conditions.

3. Xanthan gum ingredients in cheese, jam, cosmetics, emulsion and other products, which play an important role in food and cosmetics.

常见问题 (Frequently Asked Questions)

Dispersion, 1% viscosity range and transparent grade

Should I choose xanthan gum 80 mesh or 200 mesh?

80 mesh is coarser and disperses without clumping when added directly to water under stirring. 200 mesh dissolves faster but tends to lump, so it is usually premixed with sugar or an oil phase first. Personal care formulas mostly use 200 mesh; food and drilling fluids use both.

What is the typical viscosity of a 1% xanthan gum solution?

Food grade in 1% KCl solution is usually 1200 to 1600 mPa·s, with variation between producers and batches. Viscosity changes little with temperature and pH, which is the main reason it is preferred over other thickeners.

How does transparent xanthan gum differ from the standard grade?

The transparent grade is more finely filtered and processed, giving a clear 1% solution for toners, clear gels and clear beverages. The standard grade is slightly hazy and is used in sauces, dairy and industrial applications.

Can xanthan gum be blended with guar or carrageenan?

Xanthan gum with guar or locust bean gum gives synergistic thickening and lowers total dosage. Blends with carrageenan are mainly used in dairy. Ratios are set by viscosity and texture trials.

Where can I confirm the current specification?

This page is a product information note. Mesh size, viscosity and packaging follow the current datasheet from sales, which you can request through the enquiry form.
