Xanthan gum is a microbial exopolysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris, a Gram-negative aerobic bacterium that is motile and has a polar flagellum. Xanthan gum has unique rheological and gelling properties, forming viscous solutions at low concentrations and remaining stable over a wide range of pH and temperature. Xanthan gum is widely used in the food and petroleum industries as a food additive, thickener or viscosity enhancer, and stabilizer for various suspensions, emulsions, and foams[1][2].
