Chemistry
Molecular Formula of Xanthan gum (CAS NO.11138-66-2): (C35H49O29)n
EINECS: 234-394-2
History
Xanthan gum (CAS NO.11138-66-2) was discovered by an extensive research effort by Allene Rosalind Jeanes and her research team at the United States Department of Agriculture, which involved the screening of a large number of biopolymers for their potential uses. And it was brought into commercial production by the Kelco Company under the trade name Kelzan in the early 1960s. In 1968,XANTHAN GUM was approved for use in foods after extensive animal testing for toxicity. It is accepted as a safe food additive in the USA, Canada and Europe, with E number E415.
Uses
Xanthan gum (CAS NO.11138-66-2) is used to prepare water gels usually in conjunction with bentonite clays, and used in oil-in-water emulsions to help stabilise the oil droplets against coalescence. It is also used in frozen foods and beverages, xanthan gum helps create the pleasant texture in many ice creams, along with guar gum and locust bean gum. It also helps thicken commercial egg substitutes made from egg whites to replace the fat and emulsifiers found in yolks. In cosmetics, xanthan gum is used to prepare water gels usually in conjunction with bentonite clays.
Production
Xanthan gum (CAS NO.11138-66-2) is produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the xanthomonas campestris bacterium .
Safety Profile
When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
Specification
Xanthan gum (CAS NO.11138-66-2) can produce a large increase in the viscosity of a liquid by adding a very small quantity(one percent) of gum In foods, it is most often found in salad dressings and sauces. It helps to prevent oil separation by stabilizing the emulsion, although it is not an emulsifier.
