Special Ingredients Xanthan Gum Premium Quality Extra Fine, Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free

Our Xanthan Gum is 200 mesh compared to the standard 80 mesh, this means it is finer than standard Xanthan Gum making it easier to disperse and dissolve. Xanthan Gum is a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier and foaming agent. It is mainly considered to be non-gelling and used for the control of viscosity due to the tenuous associations endowing it with weak-gel shear-thinning properties. However, when added to other hydrocolloids, gels can be produced.

  • Stabiliser, emulsifier and texture improver. Use as a thickener, stabiliser and to improve texture in sauces and dressing
  • Add to Agar Agar and Carrageenan Kappa to produce more stable gels.
  • Use in ice cream to improve texture and stop ice crystals forming.
  • Stabilise foams when using a whipper gun, these foams may then be served hot or cold.
  • Use in pastry and pie fillings to prevent weeping of the filling.
  • Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten Free.

Xanthan Gum is a food additive and is commonly used as a thickener, stabiliser, emulsifier and foaming agent.

However, when added to other hydrocolloids, gels can be produced. Xanthan Gum can be added to Agar Agar and Kappa Carrageenan to form a more stable gel. The consistent water-holding ability of Xanthan Gum may be used for the control of syneresis and to stop ice re-crystallisation (ice crystal growth) in freeze-thaw situations. It can also be used in pastry fillings, to prevent the weeping of water in the filling, protecting the crispness of the crust. It can also be added to ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming

    Flavour Name: UltratexSize Name: 500 g (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
    This is an excellent product and one that I use regularly in the kitchen. Provides a tasteless thickened texture and that is quite unlike gelatine or a jelly producing product. Can be used on literally anything that is in a liquid state so easy to thicken fruit juices into clear gels without any of the texture from pureeing, or thicken gravies more easily than cornflour etc as it dissolves and is incorporated more evenly... It does take a little time for the product to become fully hydrated and to final consistency, so whilst it states 'instant' it isn't actually quite that fast... Give it a few minutes to act and then recheck consistency before adding more otherwise you risk overdoing it... A little goes a long way so good value for money too...

    Instead of buying very expensive jam sugar, I used this product combined with ordinary sugar this year, and it worked well. It is easy to use and it doesn't change jams' taste or colour and changing the amount of pectine, I could choose how thick or runny jams I'll have. I'll definitely suggest this product.
