Product Manufacturing Process
The production of thickening agent 415, also known as xanthan gum, involves fermenting carbohydrates by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. This process creates a polysaccharide that is precipitated, dried, and milled into a fine powder. A study published in the Journal of Food Science & Technology highlights the efficiency of this microbial process in producing a stable and effective rheology modifier. The research emphasizes the control over molecular weight and branching of the polysaccharide, crucial for its diverse applications and performance stability in various industrial formulations.
