Xanthan gum is a natural thickener and stabilizer produced from the fermentation of sugar with bacteria. It is used most commonly in sauces, ice cream, and cosmetics to enhance texture and prevent the separation of ingredients. Xanthan gum is also used in gluten-free products as a binding agent that helps hold ingredients together.

Xanthan gum is an extremely versatile biopolymer that can be used as a thickening, gelling, and stabilizing agent in many industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and oil extraction industries. Xanthan gum is produced through the fermentation of simple sugars by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Here is a detailed outline of the manufacturing process of xanthan gum.
1. Preparation of Fermentation Medium
A nutrient solution is prepared using carbohydrates (glucose or sucrose), nitrogen sources, minerals, and water to support bacterial growth.
2. Fermentation
The medium is inoculated with Xanthomonas campestris and fermented under controlled conditions (30–35°C, pH 6–7) for 48–72 hours. The bacteria convert sugars into xanthan gum.
3. Separation and Precipitation
After fermentation, the broth is centrifuged to remove cells. Alcohol (usually isopropyl alcohol) is added to precipitate the xanthan gum from the liquid.
4. Drying and Milling
The gum is filtered, dried (commonly by spray drying), and milled into a fine powder suitable for use.
5. Quality Control and Packaging
The final product is tested for viscosity, purity, and microbial safety, then packaged for distribution in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or industrial sectors.
