Xanthan gum is a biopolymer. Xanthan gum is known for its thickening and stabilizing properties. It is completely vegan and great for cooking and baking for persons with food allergies and restrictions, especially for those who are omitting dairy, eggs and soy from their diet.

Solutions of xanthan gum are generally not affected by changes in pH value. Xanthan gum will dissolve in most acids or bases. The viscosity of xanthan gum is stable at low pH values and at high temperatures for a long period of time. Because of its water binding capacity, xanthan gum solutions exhibit good freeze/thaw stability.
