GymBeam Xanthan Gum (Thickener) 100g

Xanthan Gum is a popular thickener, stabilizer and powder emulsifier that is part of many foods and consumer goods. It is a polysaccharide produced by the fermentation process by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria. It has no taste and no smell, so you may not even realize you've tried xanthan gum. In addition, the product can be used for dressings, bread, soups, fruit juices, ice cream and sauces. The unique properties of xanthan gum improve the consistency, texture and flexibility of food.

Xanthan Gum is often referred to as the secret ingredient in gluten-free recipes. This is because it is mainly used to bake gluten-free goodies where it is an excellent replacement for gluten. Thanks to its properties, the cake has a fluffy texture, does not crumble and has a longer shelf life. However, xanthan gum is also ideal for thickening meals for people who have food allergies and who avoid dairy products, eggs or gluten. When combined with water, xanthan gum forms a gelatin-like gel. However, unlike gelatin, it is only obtained from plant sources, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans as well.
