Xanthan Gum is widely used for its thickening and stabilising effect on emulsions and suspensions, particularly in the food industry. Xanthan Gum, like many other hydrocolloids (gums and thickeners), can cause problems during processing and these problems can often be exacerbated by the processing equipment being used. For example, traditional agitators and stirrers do not produce the high shear necessary to quickly and efficiently hydrate Xanthan gum without forming agglomerates. This can lead to very long mixing times while the powder slowly hydrates. These long mixing times increase process ..read more
