Direct product answer
What is food grade Xanthan Gum?
Food grade xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation with Xanthomonas campestris. FAO/JECFA identifies it as INS 415 and CAS 11138-66-2.
Commercial suitability depends on the exact grade, source, test method, application and destination-market rules. The current signed specification and batch COA govern a transaction.
Application screening
Common food grade Xanthan Gum applications
These are formulation areas, not universal approvals. Confirm legal use, dosage and technical performance for the finished product.
Bakery and sauces
Improve water management, cling and texture; validate interactions with starches and proteins.
Jellies and canned foods
Use as a stabilizer or thickener where the selected formula and process are compatible.
Seafood and meat processing
Evaluate yield, suspension and texture in pilot-scale formulation trials.
