Xanthazoon (xanthan gum), Biozoon, E 415, 300 g

Xanthazoon® consists of xanthan gum (E 415) and is a fermentation product. It offers good thickening and stabilizing properties and is used as an additive in a wide variety of dressings and sauces, baked goods, beverages, dairy products, fruit preparations, and ice cream. Xanthazoon® is soluble in both cold and hot liquids and maintains the viscosity of products over a wide temperature and pH range (acid-stable), and in the presence of high salt/ion concentrations. It is also known for its emulsifying properties, preventing aroma masking and improving the mouthfeel of viscous products. In culinary applications, Xanthazoon® can be used to stabilize foams, emulsions (dressings, sauces, etc.), and beverages, and to keep small particles such as herbs or flavor capsules suspended. Viscosity, stability, and mouthfeel can be influenced and improved by additionally mixing in Locuzoon® or Guarzoon®.
