Xantana (xanthan gum), E 415, 500 g

Xantana is obtained by fermenting cornstarch with a type of bacteria found in brassicas. Xantana possesses a high thickening power. It also has remarkable properties as a suspension agent and can keep small solids, such as fibers and particles, suspended in heterogeneous mixtures. It can also hold gas particles in preparations. Properties: Powder is soluble in cold and warm water (max. up to 50°C). Even when the preparation is brought to a warmer temperature, Xantana retains its thickening properties. Stir vigorously or add gently until the mixture has absorbed the moisture on its own.
