Food Grade 25Kg Xanthan Gum Thickener

Product Overview

As a specialized manufacturer of food-grade hydrocolloids, we produce this 25Kg Xanthan Gum thickener through the precise microbial fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris. This fine, pale-yellow powder acts as an exceptional stabilizing, suspending, and emulsifying agent across diverse industrial applications. Our factory-direct supply ensures consistent rheological performance, whether you are formulating acidic sauces, complex cosmetics, or gluten-free baked goods. It delivers exceptional thermal and pH stability, generating high viscosity even at minimal concentrations, making it a highly economical choice for large-scale production runs.

Product Description

Upon opening the 25kg moisture-resistant multi-layer kraft bag, you will notice a fine, free-flowing powder that carries a strictly neutral odor, ensuring it will never interfere with the delicate flavor profiles of your end products. The precise milling process guarantees a uniform particle size, which translates to a smooth, grit-free texture when properly hydrated in aqueous systems.

Derived from a meticulously controlled fermentation process, this polysaccharide matrix builds a robust pseudoplastic network. When subjected to shear forces—such as pouring, pumping through factory pipelines, or chewing—the viscosity temporarily drops, allowing for excellent flowability. Once the shear is removed, the fluid instantly recovers its thickness, providing superb mouthfeel and the permanent suspension of particulates, such as herbs in vinaigrettes or active ingredients in pharmaceutical syrups.

Sourcing directly from our production facility empowers your formulation and procurement teams to achieve absolute stability while optimizing costs. Because it requires exceptionally low usage rates, a single pallet stretches significantly further in large-scale manufacturing runs. This efficiency drastically reduces inventory overhead, minimizes transportation frequency, and maximizes the return on your raw material investment.

Product Specifications

Our technical data reflects the rigorous quality control protocols implemented at our facility. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets the exact parameters required for industrial food and cosmetic applications.

Practical Usage Guidelines

Hydration Preparation

To prevent the formation of unhydrated lumps (often called “fish eyes”), thoroughly disperse the powder with dry carrier ingredients like sugar or maltodextrin before introducing it to the vortex of a high-shear mixer. This guarantees rapid, uniform water binding.

Gluten-free Baking

Incorporate approximately one teaspoon per cup of alternative flour. The polymer creates a structural matrix that traps fermentation gases, granting the dough the necessary elasticity and preventing crumbly, dry textures in the final baked loaf.

Dressings & Sauces Formulation

Introduce the powder directly into the aqueous phase at a 0.1% to 0.5% ratio. Continuous agitation will yield a stable emulsion that prevents oil-water separation and keeps spices evenly suspended throughout the product’s shelf life.

Cosmetics Production

Utilize a 0.5% to 2% ratio to stabilize topical creams and lotions. The network enhances spreadability on the skin, delivering a luxurious, silky tactile sensation without leaving any sticky or tacky residue behind.

Product Advantages

Versatile Thickening Agent: Functions flawlessly across a broad spectrum of temperatures and pH levels, granting formulators immense flexibility when developing everything from frozen desserts to highly acidic fruit fillings.

Stability in Emulsions: Creates a strong three-dimensional network that locks oil droplets in place, permanently preventing phase separation in mayonnaise, vinaigrettes, and rich dairy alternatives.

Gluten-Free Alternative: Acts as the crucial binding agent in wheat-free recipes, replicating the extensible protein network needed to produce soft, chewy, and structurally sound baked goods.

Low Usage Levels: Delivers profound rheological impact at highly economical usage levels. Achieving target viscosity often requires merely 0.1% to 0.5% in the final formulation, maximizing your return on raw material investment.

Improved Mouthfeel: Modifies the fluid dynamics of beverages and liquid foods to coat the palate pleasantly, releasing flavors evenly and improving the overall sensory experience for the end consumer.

Technical & Supply Capabilities

Mesh Size & Hydration

Available in both 80-mesh and 200-mesh specifications, our powder accommodates diverse industrial processing environments. The finer 200-mesh option is ideal for rapid hydration in high-shear mixing, while the 80-mesh variant significantly minimizes dusting during bulk handling.

Dietary Certifications & Compliance

Manufactured to meet the most rigorous global food safety standards, this ingredient is 100% vegan and Non-GMO. It carries authoritative Halal, Kosher, and FDA-compliant certifications, ensuring your finished consumer packaged goods face no regulatory barriers.

Industrial Packaging & Logistics

We prioritize the physical integrity of your raw materials. Each 25kg unit is sealed in a moisture-resistant, multi-layer kraft paper bag with a protective inner liner. Orders are shipped on standardized, shrink-wrapped pallets to maximize warehouse space and streamline forklift operations.

Specialized Grades & Customization

Beyond standard food-grade options, our facility produces highly specialized variants, including high-transparency grades for clear beverages, salt/acid-resistant types for aggressive formulations, and dust-free granules. We also accommodate OEM packaging requests for seamless integration into your inventory system.

Production Process & Traceability

Utilizing a natural microbial fermentation process, we enforce strict QA/QC protocols at every stage. Our comprehensive batch-tracking system guarantees 100% traceability, assuring you of absolute consistency in viscosity and yield stress from one shipment to the next.

Hydrocolloid Synergy & Compatibility

This polysaccharide exhibits outstanding resistance to shear degradation and enzymatic breakdown. Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable synergistic effects when blended with galactomannans like guar gum or locust bean gum, creating thermo-reversible gels and significantly reducing overall formulation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for international shipments?

Our standard MOQ is typically 500kg, designed to optimize pallet space and freight economics for our international manufacturing partners. However, we routinely accommodate smaller trial orders for initial R&D validation and pilot runs.

Can you provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) prior to purchase?

Absolutely. We supply a comprehensive COA with every batch, detailing exact viscosity, purity levels, microbiological counts, and mesh size. Additional documentation, including allergen statements and origin certificates, is readily available upon request.

How does your 80-mesh powder differ from the 200-mesh variant?

The 80-mesh powder is slightly coarser, which significantly reduces airborne dust in your facility and is less prone to clumping if added too quickly. The 200-mesh powder is ultra-fine, offering much faster hydration times, making it ideal for continuous processing lines equipped with high-shear mixers.

Is this thickener stable in highly acidic formulations?

Yes, it maintains its structural integrity and viscosity across a broad pH range (typically pH 2 to 12). It will not break down or thin out in the presence of acetic acid, citric acid, or high salt concentrations, making it perfect for salad dressings and marinades.

What are the recommended storage conditions to maximize shelf life?

To preserve its rheological properties for the full 2-year shelf life, the powder must be stored in its original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, extreme heat, and high humidity environments.
