FOOD GRADE XANTHAN GUM
1.Function Introduction:
Food Grade Xanthan Gum can be widely used as salt/acid resistant thickener,high efficient suspension agent and emulsifier,high viscosity filling agent in viarous food and beverang.It can not only enhance the performance of water-keeping and shape-keeping,but also improve the freeze/thaw stability and mouth-feeling of food and beverage products.Meanwhile, Xanthan Gum can extend the shelf life of products,simplifying the filling and sterilization during the course of production.Little consume of Xanthan Gum can save lots of production cost and increase the profit rate.2.Specifications:

3.Executing Standard:
Conform with GB13886-92,FCCIV.4.Package,Storage & Caution:
25KG In outer cardboard drums or multiply paper bags,and 1KG in inner hot-sealed plastic bags.
Stored in the original drums or bags under the conditions of dry and below 25¡æ,a shelf life of at least 12 months will be achieved.Keeping cosed and avoiding long time connectioon with air after use.Better to be used out within two weeks if the inner package is opened.
In view of the strong hydrophilic property,an advising using method should be followed-pouring xanthan gum into water as slowly as possible and making sure it dissolves completely,or fully-mixing xanthan gum with other material at a ratio or 1:10 in preparation for using.
