Xanthan Gum

Overview

Safe and pure Xanthan Gum powder

Xanthan Gum is a product of fermentation of Xanthomonas Campestris under special conditions of nutrient medium, pH, O2 – supply and temperature. It is precipitated, dried and milled into white-like or light-yellow fine powder. Popularly used as a replacement of egg for texture, Xanthan Gum increases the viscosity of liquids making it an ideal thickening agent for sauces, dressings and other frozen foods.

Properties of Xanthan Gum

Unique pseudo-plasticity rheological property.
High suspending effect on insoluble solids and oil droplets.
Low concentration and high viscosity.
Molecular structure remains unchanged under circumstance of high shear.

It is also used as an emulsifier in the cosmetic industry and for suspensions in the pharmaceutical industries.

Advantages of Xanthan Gum

High viscosity-enhancing property and solubility in water.
High-efficient emulsifier and stabilizer.
Excellent stability to large range of temperature and pH change.
Satisfying compatibility with acid, alkaline, brine, enzyme, surface active agent, antiseptic, oxidant and other thickeners.
Perfect synergistic action when blended with guar gum, locust been gum and other colloids.

Applications

PHARMACEUTICALS

Agar Agar

Agar-Agar has a significant role in the pharmaceutical industry as an agent for gelation, stabilization, and thickening. Due to these properties, it finds uses in pharmaceuticals to treat various health issues. Some of the prominent uses are :

• Agar as a surgical lubricant

The gelation property makes Agar a good choice as surgical lubricant. The surgeons also use it to reduce discomfort to the patient undergoing surgery.

• Agar as purgative agent

The purgative use of Agar is because it provides a smooth, non-irritant bulk in the gut and stimulates bowel movement.

• Agar for weight loss

As Agar forms a thick bulk in the digestive tract, it makes the tummy full. This results in reduction of unwanted snacking which in turn aids weight loss.

• Agar-based materials to treat tumors

Researchers have developed an injectable hydrogel from Agar. It is now being used in chemo and photo thermal therapies to treat tumors.

Sodium Alginate

Sodium Alginate is known for its biocompatibility, low toxicity, relatively low cost, and mild gelation properties. It is one of the most used substances in the food, pharmaceutical, and textile industry.

Owing to the exclusive physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, Sodium Alginate is widely used in the pharmaceutical preparation field as:

• Thickening agent
• Suspending agent
• Disintegrating agent
• Microencapsulated materials
• Cold-resistant agent for cells

It is also known to lower blood sugar, and work as an antioxidant and increase immunological competence.

In recent years, there has been extensive research to use Sodium Alginate in new pharmaceutical dosage form, as a kind of bioadhesive polymer and PH sensitivity of the gel material.

CONFECTIONERY

Vegan alternatives to gelatin in making delicious mouth-watering confectioneries.

Agar Agar

Agar is extracted from red seaweed of the class Rhodophyceae via polymerization of galactose. Our products are available in both strips and powdered form. Both give exceptional results when used for confectioneries such as jelly candies, gummies, vegan marshmallows etc.

Carrageenan

Carrageenan is one of the most cost-effective vegan hydrocolloids that gives the perfect texture to various confectionery items. With our high-quality Carrageenan products you can be assured to use safe products into your recipes.

It is ideal for making hard & soft chewy gummy bears, jujubes, candies, chocolate items and much more.

Gellan Gum (Plant Gel)

Gellan Gum is good for making confectioneries to impart the perfect structure and texture. It also helps in reducing the setting time of starch jellies and also reduces the moisture fluctuations of sugar coated confectioneries.

JAMS AND SPREADS

Vegan thickening agents that give your jams the perfect texture.

Agar Agar

The major property of Agar Agar is it’s water holding capacity. Hence it can be used in jams, sugar-free jams and marmalade recipes to get high yield with minimal evaporation loss.

Wondergel

Spreadable Agar Agar Wondergel is an easy-to-use thickening and gelling agent in making varieties of fresh fruit jams, spreads, marmalades etc. The final product will have a smooth, spreadable & soft texture.

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan Gum is widely used to make jams, chocolate spreads, fruit spreads etc. It prevents oil-water separation and keeps the jam’s texture intact. It also gives an excellent mouth-feel.

Guar Gum

Guar gum has a better water-thickening ability than other agents (e.g. cornstarch) and only a small quantity is needed for producing sufficient viscosity. It is useful in enhancing the softness and quality of jams & spreads.
