Xanthun Gum

What is Xanthun Gum?
Xanthan gum is a popular food additive that works as a thickener and stabilizer. Made from corn, xanthan gum is produced when sucrose, lactose, or glucose gets fermented by bacteria, making a gummy substance. This mixture gets dehydrated and ground into a powder, which is how xanthan gum gets used commercially and in home kitchens around the world. From mayonnaise to frozen entrées to yogurt, xanthan gum is staple ingredient in most shelf-stable foods. It’s a keto diet-friendly thickener, and because xanthan gum can make liquid elastic and sticky, it’s often used in gluten-free foods and gluten-free baking to give breads a gluten-like texture.

Xanthun Gum Vs. Guar Gum
Xanthan gum and guar gum are food additives that work in the same way: they bind and stabilize ingredients. Guar gum is derived from guar beans, which are mainly grown and processed in India. Xanthan gum usually comes from corn and is more prevalent worldwide. Usually, xanthan gum is used in baked goods and shelf-stable salad dressings and sauces, where guar gum works best with cold and frozen foods such as ice cream, yogurt, and puddings. Another difference between these two ingredients is guar gum doesn’t gel on its own, needing borax or calcium, where xanthan gum naturally gels.

Xanthan Gum Uses
A tiny bit of white and odourless xanthan gum powder can go a long way in stabilizing hot and cold sauces, thickening gravies, and giving gluten-free bread the right sort of chew. To make bread, add xanthan gum during the dry ingredient stage. Xanthan gum makes a fat-free, gluten-free replacement for a classic fat-and-flour roux used to thicken sauces and soups. For ice cream, xanthan gum will help curb ice crystals from forming and lends the dessert a smooth creaminess.
