CAS NO: 11138-66-2
EC NO: 234-394-2

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is a polysaccharide with many industrial uses, including as a common food additive.
E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is an effective thickening agent and stabilizer to prevent ingredients from separating.
E415 (XANTHAN GUM) can be produced from simple sugars using a fermentation process and derives its name from the species of bacteria used, Xanthomonas campestris.

Shear-thinning
The viscosity of E415 (XANTHAN GUM) solutions decreases with higher shear rates.
This is called shear thinning or pseudoplasticity.
This means that a product subjected to shear, whether from mixing, shaking or chewing will thin.
When the shear forces are removed, the food will thicken again.
In salad dressing, the addition of E415 (XANTHAN GUM) makes it thick enough at rest in the bottle to keep the mixture fairly homogeneous, but the shear forces generated by shaking and pouring thins it, so it can be easily poured.
When it exits the bottle, the shear forces are removed and it thickens again, so it clings to the salad.

Amounts used
The greater the ratio of E415 (XANTHAN GUM) added to a liquid, the thicker the liquid will become. An emulsion can be formed with as little as 0.1% (by weight).
Increasing the amount of gum gives a thicker, more stable emulsion up to 1% E415 (XANTHAN GUM). A teaspoon of E415 (XANTHAN GUM) weighs about 2.5 grams and brings one cup (250 ml) of water to a 1% concentration.

To make a foam, 0.2–0.8% E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is typically used. Larger amounts result in larger bubbles and denser foam.

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is a food additive created by sugar that’s fermented by bacteria.
It’s a soluble fibre and commonly used to thicken or stabilize foods.

It’s created when sugar is fermented by a type of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris.

Increasing viscosity of the liquid. Keeping emulsions homogenized and particles suspended for long periods.
Stabilization of oil-soluble flavours in water-based beverages. Valued for its ability to withstand a range of temperature and pH.
Due to its heat stability, it is used in canning and pasteurized products.
Due to its shear-thinning character xanthan is used in salad dressings; meaning that at high shear its viscosity drops and under low shear it keeps its viscosity.
In gluten-free baking, xanthan reinforces gluten-free flour mixtures by adding "stickiness". Excessive xanthan will create an undesirable "snotty" texture.
This can be overcome by using it in combination with guar gum obtained from guar beans.
Xanthan hydrates quickly at all temperatures, so it has a strong tendency to clump.
One popular dispersion method is to disperse in oil (either on a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of xanthan to oil) followed by vigorously whisking and, optionally, straining to remove any remaining clumps.
Another method is to thoroughly mix xanthan with a small amount of sugar, preferably in a mortar, prior to dispersion.
This delays the hydration enough to allow the gum to disperse before it has a chance to form lumps.
As when working with other hydrocolloids, vigorous whisking or mixing with a hand blender works very well to aid dispersion.

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is produced as a secondary metabolite by a fermentation process, based on the culture, in aerobic conditions, of the micro-organism Xanthomonas campestris.

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is a hetero-polysaccharide with a very high molecular weight (between one and several million). Its main chain is composed of glucose units.

The side chain is a trisaccharide, consisting of alpha-D-mannose that contains an acetyl group, beta-D-glucuronic acid, and a terminal beta-D-mannose unit linked with a pyruvate group.

The monosaccharides present in E415 (XANTHAN GUM) are beta-D-glucose, alpha-D-mannose and alpha-D-glucoronic acid in a ratio of 2:2:1.

The terminal mannose can have a pyruvate group attached and the mannose adjacent to the main chain may have an acetyl group attached to C6.
In general, about one branch in two has a pyruvate group, but the ratio of pyruvate to acetate varies depending on the substrain of Xanthomonas campestris used and the conditions of fermentation.
The glucuronic and pyruvic acid groups give E415 (XANTHAN GUM) a highly negative charge. These acid groups are neutralized using sodium, potassium or calcium ions for food products.

The organized state is stabilized by the presence of electrolytes.
The transition temperature is above 100° C in the presence of small quantities of salt.

The presence of anionic side chains on the E415 (XANTHAN GUM) molecules enhances hydration and makes E415 (XANTHAN GUM) soluble in cold water.

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is one of the most successful hydrocolloids due to its unique functionality, particularly in difficult environments like acid, high salt and high shear stress.

E415 (XANTHAN GUM) is a stable material.
Aqueous solutions are stable over a wide pH range (pH 3–12), although they demonstrate maximum stability at pH 4–10 and temperatures of 10–60°C.
E415 (XANTHAN GUM) solutions of less than 1% w/v concentration may be adversely affected by higher than ambient temperatures: for example, viscosity is reduced.
E415 (XANTHAN GUM) provides the same thickening, stabilizing, and suspending properties during long-term storage at elevated temperatures as it does at ambient conditions.
In addition, it ensures excellent freeze-thaw stability.
Solutions are also stable in the presence of enzymes, salts, acids, and bases.
Vanzan NF-ST is specially designed for use in systems containing high salt concentrations as it dissolves directly in salt solutions, and its viscosity is relatively unaffected by high salt levels as compared with general-purpose grades.
The bulk material should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool, dry place.
