Xanthan gum powder is a popular food additive in the form of a light yellow to white flowable powder with a slight odour. It is an all-natural biosynthetic gum that is inexpensive and more environmentally friendly. Xanthan gum is an excellent thickener, suspending agent and stabilizer that improves the consistency, flavour, texture and shelf life of many foods. Xanthan gum powder is commonly used in gluten-free cooking because it gives baked goods elasticity and adds fluffiness. Use in bread and cakes will improve the water retention and softness of these baked goods during storage, improving texture and extending shelf life. It is also used in jellies, jams, ice creams and dairy products.
