So, what is gumă de xantan?
Gumă de xantan, also known as xanthan gum, is a popular food ingredient that is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of foods, including salad dressings, sauces, and baked goods. This natural gum is produced by fermenting corn sugar with a bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris, and is known for its ability to create a smooth and creamy texture in foods. It is also gluten-free and has a neutral taste, making it a versatile ingredient in both gluten-free and conventional recipes. Gumă de xantan is a common ingredient in many commercial food products, and is also available for home use in powder form.
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.
