Xanthan gum is a popular thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in powder form that is part of many foods and consumer products. It is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation with the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. It has no taste or smell, so you may not know that you have probably tasted xanthan gum. It is found in sauces, pastries, soups, fruit juices, ice creams and sauces. Its unique properties improve the consistency, texture and softness of food.

Xanthan gum is often cited as the secret ingredient in gluten-free recipes. This is due to the fact that it is mainly used in baking gluten-free products, where it perfectly replaces gluten, thanks to which the resulting dough is fluffy, does not crumble and has a longer shelf life. However, xanthan gum is also suitable for thickened meals for people with allergies and people who avoid dairy, eggs or gluten. When it comes into contact with water, xanthan gum turns into a gel that behaves similar to gelatin. Unlike jelly, however, xanthan gum is an exclusively plant-based product and is therefore also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
