Xanthan Gum - 80mesh
Xanthan Gum is a hydrophilic biological polysaccharide, which is made from corn starch after the processes of fermentation with Xanthomonas Campestris, extraction, drying and grinding. Benefited by its superior thickening and stabilising effect, shear resistance and unique pseudo-plasticity rheological property. Xanthan Gum is widely used in food pharmaceutical, fine chemical, oil drilling and other fields.
