So, what is gommes xanthane?
Gommes xanthane, also known as xanthan gum, is a highly versatile food ingredient that is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a wide range of products, including sauces, dressings, baked goods, and dairy products. It is made by fermenting glucose with the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium, and its unique molecular structure allows it to create a viscous texture and improve the overall quality of food products. Gommes xanthane is known for its ability to improve texture, increase shelf life, and enhance flavor release in food products, making it an essential ingredient in many recipes.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
