Xanthan gum provides thickening and suspension. For example, in a salad dressing that contains spices, xanthan gum helps to suspend the spices as well as maintain a smooth and consistent texture.
Yes. In gluten-free recipes, xanthan gum replicates the moisture retention and structure created by gluten proteins. It improves crumb, elasticity, and mouthfeel in breads, cakes, and cookies. Its gluten-free and vegan characteristics make it a frequent ingredient in allergy-friendly and plant-based products.
Yes. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use xanthan gum as a suspending agent in liquid medicines, syrup formulations, and toothpastes. It helps stabilize ingredients and control the release of drugs in controlled-release tablets.
Our company specializes in the production of various edible modified starches, including hydroxypropyl starch, acetylated starch, pregelatinized starch, oxidized starch, etc, Each type has multiple subdivided specifications and indicators according to different application scenarios and customer needs, which can fully meet the processing requirements of various products in the food industry.
It enhances: Texture: Creamier mouthfeel in sauces or yogurt.
Stability: Prevents separation in beverages or frozen foods.
Clarity: Clearer appearance in confectionery or soups.
Shear resistance: Maintains consistency under high-speed processing.
Yes, pectin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA and approved by the EU (E440). It is a natural fiber with health benefits like aiding digestion and lowering cholesterol.
Pectin is a plant-based alternative to gelatin (derived from animal collagen). While gelatin requires refrigeration to set, pectin gels at room temperature. Pectin also offers a firmer texture and is suitable for vegetarian/vegan diets.
Absolutely. As a microbial fermentation product, curdlan gum is inherently plant-free and widely used in vegan meat, cheese alternatives, and gluten-free foods to achieve desirable textures without animal-derived ingredients.
Unlike pectin (which requires sugar and acid to gel) or gelatin (which needs refrigeration), curdlan gum forms a heat-stable gel with minimal additives. It also offers superior elasticity and is suitable for high-temperature processing, making it a versatile alternative in vegan and industrial applications.
Kappa Carrageenan: Forms strong, rigid gels with calcium; used in cheese and pet food.
Iota Carrageenan: Creates soft, elastic gels; ideal for dairy desserts and capsules.
Lambda Carrageenan: Does not gel but acts as a thickener; common in sauces and beverages.
Absolutely. As a plant-derived ingredient, it is ideal for vegan cheeses, plant-based milks, and meat alternatives to mimic animal-based textures.
vs. Xanthan Gum: Both are effective thickeners, but konjac gum provides a firmer gel and higher fiber content.
vs. Guar Gum: Konjac gum has superior water absorption and is more stable under heat.
