Goma de xantana, also known as xanthan gum, is a natural polysaccharide produced by fermenting glucose or sucrose with the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. This ingredient is widely used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Goma de xantana is highly versatile, as it can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, making it ideal for use in a variety of food products.
