So, what is gumă xantan?
Xanthan gum is a natural thickener and stabilizer commonly used in food products. It is produced by fermenting glucose or other sugars with a specific strain of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris. The resulting gum is a white powder with excellent water-holding properties and high viscosity. It can be used in a variety of foods, including salad dressings, sauces, bakery products, and ice cream. Xanthan gum is gluten-free and can also be used as a substitute for gluten in recipes. It is a popular ingredient in gluten-free baking as it provides structure and elasticity to the dough. Additionally, xanthan gum has a low caloric value and is considered safe for consumption by most people.
