Xanthan Gum -
Produced from the
fermentation of corn
sugar. It is most
commonly used as a
stabilizer,
emulsifier and
thickener. Xanthan
Gum is made from a
tiny microorganism
call Xanthomonas
Carmpestris and is a
natural
carbohydrate. It is
also a substitute
for gluten and to
give volume to
breads and other
gluten-free baked
goods. Xanthan gum
can be added to
liquids such as
salad dressings,
gravies, sauces,
sour cream, yogurt
and even ice cream
to give them a
creamy smooth
texture. It also has
the unique ability
to hold particles of
food together,
making it a good
stabilizer.
