Xanthan Gum
E415 Solutions

The world's most versatile thickening and stabilizing agent. From gluten-free baking to high-performance oil drilling, our Xanthan Gum sets the global standard.

What is Xanthan Gum?

Xanthan gum is a popular food additive commonly used as a thickener or stabilizer. It is a plant-based polysaccharide produced by fermenting simple sugars (derived from corn, wheat, or soy) with the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris.

The fermentation process creates a broth-like substance, which is then made solid by adding alcohol, resulting in a versatile ingredient used globally across multiple industries.

Manufacturing

Xanthan gum is manufactured by specialized biotechnology, food ingredient, and chemical industrial companies equipped for precise large-scale fermentation.

Primary Applications

Food Industry

Gluten-Free Baking: Critical for structure and texture in bread and pastries.
Dairy & Alternatives: Creates creamy texture in almond/soy milk and prevents ice crystals in ice cream.
Typical Dosage: 0.05% to 0.3%

Industrial & Pharma

Industrial: Used in drilling muds, pesticides, and fertilizers for viscosity and adhesion.
Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a stabilizer and suspending agent in medicinal formulas.
Cosmetics: Found in lotions and creams for superior thickening and emulsion.

Standard Grades & Mesh Sizes

Available Grades

Food Grade (E415)
Optimized for maximum safety and purity in food production.
Industrial / Technical
Built for heavy-duty fluids and construction applications.
Cosmetic / Pharmaceutical
Ultra-pure formulation for personal care and medical use.

Particle Sizes (Mesh)

80 Mesh
Coarse Grade

The most common grade for baking and dry mixes. Provides reliable thickening in solid-state processing.

200 Mesh
Extra Fine Grade

Much finer particles that dissolve quickly in liquids without clumping. Ideal for instant liquid formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Buyer FAQs

We supply food grade, oil field grade and industrial grade xanthan gum from leading Chinese manufacturers including Deosen and Fufeng — two of the world's largest and most trusted producers.
Food grade (E415) is high purity for food/pharma. Oil field grade is optimized for higher viscosity and drilling mud rheology. Never substitute one for the other.
80 mesh is for faster hydration in food/bakery. 200 mesh is finer for smooth textures in beverages, cosmetics, and pharma requiring uniform dispersion.
Viscosity determines functional performance. Low viscosity (below 1,200 mPa.s) indicates inferior grade. Always specify minimum viscosity when ordering.
Food & beverages (sauces, gluten-free), oilfield drilling, cosmetics (creams, shampoos), pharmaceuticals (tablet binder), and industrial coatings.
MOQ is 100 kg. Available in 25 kg kraft paper bags. Full containers of 20–22 MT available for large volume buyers.
Payment is RTGS against loading — full RTGS/NEFT payment before or at the time of loading. No credit terms for first orders.

Producer/Exporter FAQs

India has consistent demand across food, oilfield, and pharma. We are an active importer and looking to partner with producers offering consistent quality and documentation.
We actively look to work on credit-based terms (DA / Net 30–45 days). We are open to starting with LC terms and progressing toward credit as the relationship develops.
