E415 Food Grade & Industrial Grade Powder Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum, designated as E415, is a polysaccharide used as a food additive. It's produced by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris through a fermentation process. Xanthan gum is commonly used in the food industry for its thickening and stabilizing properties.
Basic Information:
- **Chemical Formula**: (C35H49O29)n
- **Molecular Weight**: Varies, depending on the degree of polymerization
- **Appearance**: White to cream-colored powder
- **Solubility**: Soluble in cold or warm water, forming a viscoelastic solution
- **pH Stability**: Stable over a wide pH range, typically from pH 3 to 8
Physical Properties:
- **Viscosity**: Xanthan gum is known for its high viscosity even at low concentrations. The viscosity increases with the concentration of the gum and can be adjusted by temperature and pH.
- **Thermal Stability**: Remains stable over a wide temperature range, though high temperatures may reduce its viscosity.
- **Rheological Properties**: Exhibits pseudoplastic behavior, meaning it flows under applied stress but returns to a semi-solid state when the stress is removed.
Applications:
1. **Food Industry**: Used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of food products, including salad dressings, sauces, ice creams, and baked goods.
2. **Pharmaceuticals**: Used as a binder, disintegrant, or viscosity-increasing agent in tablet formulations and as a stabilizer in suspensions.
3. **Cosmetics**: Provides viscosity and stability to lotions, creams, and gels.
4. **Industrial Applications**: Used in oil drilling, water treatment, and other industrial processes for its rheological properties.
Safety and Regulations:
- **Food Grade**: Approved for use in food by major regulatory agencies like the FDA and EFSA.
- **Allergen**: Generally considered non-allergenic, but individuals sensitive to corn or wheat (if the fermentation medium contained these) might react.
- **Dosage Limits**: Regulated by food safety authorities; the usage level depends on the specific application.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place in a well-sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
Handling Precautions:
- While generally considered safe, it can cause respiratory irritation if inhaled as a fine powder. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling large quantities.
Xanthan gum's unique properties make it a versatile and widely used additive in various industries. Its ability to modify the rheology of aqueous systems makes it particularly valuable in food and industrial applications.
