Introduction of xanthan gum production processes to streamline xanthan gum toxic, colorless, odorless , viscous low concentrations has a good , and in the case of large shear force and can reduce his tack , is an ideal biological glue in the pharmaceutical industry, can be used for fillers, thickeners, emulsifiers , suspending agents . Xanthan gum is widely applied , not only for the pharmaceutical , xanthan gum was first used in oil exploration , drilling mud to reduce liquidity. Also used in food , beverages, tobacco , pesticides, such as the canned meat plus as xanthan gum, can be frozen into the broth and keep water , beer, xanthan gum , rich foam production ; adding xanthan gum in the pesticides, so pesticides not hierarchical, dependent strengthen and enhance the effective time of the drug . Xanthan gum is made Xanthomonas campestris output of an extracellular secretion , are polysaccharides. Xanthan gum fermentation medium carbon source is usually sucrose, glucose , Xanthomonas easy to use organic nitrogen sources , inorganic nitrogen and difficult to use . The organic nitrogen sources include fish meal peptone , soy peptone , fish meal, soybean meal , bran , etc., which is the best peptone meal . Furthermore , some trace salts added . Such as Fe, Mn, Zn , etc. salts.
 
Especially calcium and NaH2PO4 and MgSO4, they have xanthan gum synthesis significant role in promoting . According to experience, the ideal ratio of ingredients : glucose (40 g · L-1), citric acid (2.0 g · L-1), NH4NO3 (1.0 g · L-1), K2HPO4 (2.0 g · L-1 ), MgCl2 (0.5g · L-1), Na2SO4 (90mg · L-1), H3BO4 (6mg · L-1), ZnO (6mg · L-1), FeCl3 · 6H2O (20mg · L-1), CaCO3 (20mg · L-1), concentrated HCl (0.12mL · L-1), by the addition of sodium hydroxide and the pH adjusted to 7.0. Inoculum size of 5 to 8 percent . Due to the high viscosity of the medium , xanthan gum fermentation production of high oxygen demand , need a large amount of ventilation , usually 1-0.6m3 / (m3 · min). Fermentation temperature is 25-28 ℃. The initial concentration of the carbon source is generally 2 % to 5% . Fermentation temperature not only affects the yield of xanthan gum , but also to change the structure of the product components. Research indicates that higher temperatures can increase the production of xanthan gum , but reduces the product pyruvate levels , therefore , for improving the yield of xanthan gum , you should choose a temperature at 31 ℃ 33 ℃, and to increase pyruvate content should select the temperature at 27 a 31 ℃. In the fermentation of xanthan gum , the optimum temperature for cell growth is between 24-27 ℃, the optimum temperature of the xanthan gum is produced in a 33 ℃ 30 Xanthan gum is a fermentation starting pH value is generally control of 6.5-7.0 , which is conducive to cell growth and late early xanthan gum synthesis. With output of the product , increasing the acid group . pH to 5 or so. Except broth containing xanthan gum ( about 3% ) , there mycelia End unconsumed carbohydrates, inorganic salts , and large quantities of liquid . Mycelium and other solids which accounted for 20% , 10% water-soluble inorganic salt : If there mycelium solids such as xanthan gum mixed in the finished product , the color of the product will cause poor , bad taste . Thus limiting the use of xanthan gum . Thus , separation and extraction of xanthan gum , the aim of product quality specifications required by the fermentation mash in varying degrees to remove impurities by purification , separation, concentration and drying means to obtain the finished product. Finished of xanthan gum food grade, industrial grade and industrial crude three kinds . 1 .
