Product Overview


Clear Xanthan Gum (CAS No.: 11138-66-2) is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced via fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. This off-white powder forms a transparent solution with key specifications: ≥99.0% purity, viscosity 1200–1500 cP (1% solution at 25°C), and pH 6.0–8.0. Certified organic by EU and USDA, compliant with FCC and GB 28304 standards, it is a premium thickener for clear and translucent beverages, with no gritty texture.


Product Benefits


Superior Clarity: Creates solutions with transmittance ≥ 95% at 550nm, ideal for clear sodas, iced teas, and fruit-infused waters (avoids cloudiness of guar gum).


Low Dosage Efficiency: Requires only 0.05%–0.3% addition to achieve target viscosity, reducing costs by 50% compared to carrageenan.


pH & Temperature Stability: Maintains viscosity across pH 2.0–12.0 and temperatures up to 121°C (pasteurization), outperforming locust bean gum.


Suspension Capacity: Prevents sedimentation of fruit pulp or particles in beverages for 6 months of shelf life, with no re-agitation needed.


Organic Compliance: Meets EU 834/2007 organic standards, supporting "organic" and "natural thickener" labeling claims.


Usage


Clear Beverages: Added at 0.05%–0.1% in sparkling water, iced coffee, and clear sodas. Enhances mouthfeel without altering clarity or flavor.


Fruit Beverages: Incorporated at 0.1%–0.2% in pulpy orange juice and berry drinks. Suspends pulp evenly, reducing sediment by 90%.


Dairy Beverages: Used at 0.08%–0.15% in milkshakes and protein drinks. Improves creaminess and prevents protein coagulation in acidic conditions.


Alcoholic Drinks: Mixed into cocktails and wine coolers at 0.05%–0.1%, enhancing body without clouding or affecting alcohol content.

FAQ


Q: How to dissolve clear xanthan gum without clumping?

A: Disperse in cold water at 1:100 gum-to-water ratio, then shear mix at 3000 RPM for 2 minutes. Alternatively, blend with sugar before adding to liquids.


Q: Is it compatible with other beverage additives?

A: Yes. Synergizes with citric acid, natural flavors, and sweeteners (stevia, erythritol) without stability issues. Avoid mixing with high-calcium ingredients at pH < 4.0.


Q: What’s the shelf life and storage condition?

A: Store in sealed bags at 15°C–25°C, relative humidity ≤ 60%. Shelf life is 24 months; avoid exposure to moisture to prevent caking.

Product Advantage


Versatile Thickening Agent: Xanthan gum can be used in a wide range of applications, from food products to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is effective in both hot and cold formulations, providing flexibility in product development.


Stability in Emulsions: Xanthan gum excels at stabilizing emulsions, preventing separation of ingredients and maintaining a smooth texture. This property is particularly beneficial in salad dressings, sauces, and dairy products.


Gluten-Free Alternative: For those following gluten-free diets, xanthan gum serves as a key ingredient in gluten-free baking. It mimics the texture and elasticity that gluten provides, helping to improve the structure of gluten-free bread and pastries.


Low Usage Levels: Even at low concentrations, xanthan gum is highly effective. Typically, only 0.5% to 2% is needed to achieve the desired viscosity, making it a cost-effective choice for manufacturers.


Improved Mouthfeel: Xanthan gum enhances the mouthfeel of products, providing a smooth and creamy texture that improves the overall sensory experience for consumers.
