2.0 Product Specification

Xanthan is manufactured in USA and complies with FCC requirements. It is an off-white to light tan coloured powder. It has a viscosity (1% Xanthan in a 1% KCL solution) of 1200 – 1600 cP and a granulation of 95% minimum though a USS80 mesh sieve (177µ).
Xanthan is a multifunctional stabiliser and thickener with unique shear-thinning characteristics: It tends to have low viscosity when mixed or pumped but will increase in viscosity once the shear is removed, assisting with particle suspension in a range of food systems.

Xanthan does not contain any known allergens as listed in Standard 1.2.3 with the exception of Soy. ADM make the following statement:

Xanthan Gum products are produced in dedicated equipment by fermentation of dextrose derived from cornstarch with the addition of small amounts of soy flour. Xanthan Gum has been tested for the presence of soy in the final product, with allergen protein testing below the limit of detection for the assay. The lower limit of detection for this assay is 1.0 ppm. However, since this ingredient contains bacteria that can break down / hydrolyze proteins, the lack of a positive results in this assay does not necessarily mean there is no residual soy allergen left. The negative result obtained in the assay is an indication that no one would likely have a severe allergic reaction to the product, but no guarantee is provided or implied.
