Xanthan gum ingredient guide
What is xanthan gum?
Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by controlled fermentation of a carbohydrate with Xanthomonas campestris. After fermentation, the gum is recovered, dried and milled into a pale, free-flowing powder. It hydrates in water to build viscosity and is used as a thickener, stabilizer and texturizer in many food systems.
Food developers select xanthan gum by grade, mesh, viscosity profile, clarity, hydration behavior and compatibility with the complete formulation. A grade intended for a clear beverage may not be the best choice for a dry bakery mix or a high-salt sauce. Use level, addition order, shear, temperature, pH and competing solids all influence the final result, so the exact Nutrifena specification should be confirmed before scale-up.
Ingredient value
Xanthan gum benefits
Xanthan gum can provide substantial texture control at low use levels, but performance must be validated in the target process and finished formulation.
Efficient viscosity development
Builds body and flow control at relatively low addition rates, helping formulators adjust texture without adding a large solids load.
Suspension and stability support
Can help slow separation and keep fine particles, herbs, cocoa or fruit solids more evenly distributed in suitable systems.
Flexible formulation tool
Works across sauces, beverages, bakery, fillings and dry mixes, with the final response determined by grade, hydration and process conditions.
For manufacturers
Benefits of xanthan gum for formulation
Supports high at-rest viscosity with easier flow under shear in properly developed systems.
Helps control pour, cling, suspension and mouthfeel in sauces, dressings and beverages.
Contributes binding and structure in selected gluten-free bakery formulations.
Can be dry-blended with sugar, starch or maltodextrin before hydration to improve dispersion.
Pairs with tapioca starch, corn maltodextrin, cocoa, citric acid and botanical powders.
Available to B2B buyers in packaged and quoted commercial quantities. The current minimum order is shown in the pricing section.

Starting points for R&D
Three xanthan gum pilot formulations
Each example is a 2.2 lb (1kg) pilot formulation created for commercial product development. These are starting points, not finished product specifications; validate processing, stability, sensory performance, nutrition, allergens and regulatory compliance before production.
01
Pourable creamy herb dressing
Sauce manufacturers · Prepared foods · Food serviceWater19.05 oz (540g)
Canola oil10.58 oz (300g)

Mustard powder0.18 oz (5g)
Nutrifena Xanthan Gum0.11 oz (3g)
Nutrifena Citric Acid0.07 oz (2g)
Pilot method
Pre-blend the xanthan gum with the sugar, salt and mustard powder. Disperse the dry blend into the water under controlled high shear, allow it to hydrate, then add vinegar and citric acid. Add the oil gradually while mixing. Validate pH, pour, cling, emulsion stability, flavor and shelf life before scale-up.

Buyer questions
Xanthan gum FAQ
Does Nutrifena have a minimum order quantity for xanthan gum?
Yes. The current minimum order is shown in the pricing section. Availability, packaging, freight and lead time are confirmed in the quote.
How is xanthan gum produced?
Xanthan gum is produced through controlled fermentation of a carbohydrate with Xanthomonas campestris, followed by recovery, drying and milling. The approved product specification must confirm the exact grade and process details.
How should xanthan gum be dispersed?
A common development approach is to pre-blend xanthan gum with other dry ingredients before adding it to the liquid under suitable agitation. The correct order, shear and hydration time depend on the complete formulation and process.
Which xanthan gum grade should I request?
Specify the application, target viscosity, clarity, pH, salt level, temperature, process shear and required mesh. Nutrifena can then identify the relevant available grade and documentation.
Can xanthan gum be used in gluten-free bakery products?
Xanthan gum is commonly used to support structure in gluten-free bakery systems. Any finished-product claim and allergen statement must be supported by the approved ingredient documentation and the manufacturer's cross-contact controls.
Can I request technical and label information?
Yes. Include the required package size, application, process, quantity and destination in your enquiry so the team can identify the relevant SKU and available documentation.
Regulatory and specification note: The FDA lists xanthan gum under 21 CFR 172.695 and identifies technical effects including stabilizer, thickener and texturizer. Review the FDA Substances Added to Food inventory and the FAO/WHO JECFA xanthan gum specification alongside the approved Nutrifena SKU specification before setting use levels, claims or purchasing requirements.
