Xanthan Gum, E 415, 500 g

Xanthan is obtained through the fermentation of corn starch with a type of bacteria found in cruciferous vegetables. Xanthan has a high thickening power. It also has remarkable properties as a suspending agent and can keep small solids, such as fibers and pieces, suspended in heterogeneous liquid mixtures. It can also hold gas particles in preparations. Properties: Powder is soluble in both cold and warm liquids (up to a maximum of 50°C). Even when the preparation is heated, xanthan does not lose its thickening properties. Stir vigorously or mix in with gentle motions until it has absorbed the moisture on its own.
