No harm done. Xanthan gum is a legal additive, and high security, although there is no nutrition, but after eating no harm to people, it basically will not be absorbed by the human body, and will be discharged with the body's normal excretion out of the body.

One, xanthan gum is light yellow to white flowable powder, slightly odor. Easily soluble in cold and hot water, solution neutral, resistant to freezing and thawing, insoluble in ethanol. When water dispersion, emulsification into a stable hydrophilic viscous colloid.

Two, xanthan gum on the insoluble solids and oil droplets have a good suspension effect. Xanthan gum sol molecules can form a super-binding band of helical **** polymer, constituting a fragile gel-like mesh structure, so it can support the solid particles, droplets and bubbles in the form of a strong emulsification and stabilization role and high suspension capacity.

1.Xanthan gum solution has the characteristics of low concentration and high viscosity (the viscosity of 1% aqueous solution is equivalent to 100 times that of gelatin), which makes it an efficient thickener.

2. It is used as a stabilizer, thickener and processing aid for many purposes in industry, including the production of canned and bottled foods, bakery foods, dairy products, frozen foods, salad dressings, beverages, brewing, confectionery, pastries and coloring products. When making food, it is easy to flow, easy to pour out and pour in, easy to pipeline, and reduce energy consumption.
