Xanthan Gum Food Grade 80 Mesh (E415)
Xanthan Gum (E415) is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris, widely used as a thickener, suspending agent and stabilizer. It shows high viscosity at low concentrations with excellent stability over wide pH, salt and temperature ranges. Richest Group supplies food grade and oil drilling grade xanthan gum with COA for each batch.
