Xhantan Gum

Xanthan gum is a complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide) powder additive produced by the fermentation of sugars by the bacteria Xanthomonas campestris. It functions as a natural thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier and is widely used in the food industry (such as in gluten-free products, sauces, and ice cream), pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
