Chemical Structural:

Xanthan gum, mainly made from starch, is a high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose with xanthomonas campestris bacterium. the main compositions of xanthan gum are d-glucopyranose glucan, d-mannose and d-glucuronic acid. (the main chain of polysaccharide consists of two β-D-glucose units linked through the 1 and 4 positions. The side chain consists of two mannose and one glucuronic acid, the chain consists of repeating modules of five sugar units. About half of the terminal mannose units have a pyruvic acid group linked as a ketal to its 4 and 6 positions, the other mannose units have an acetyl group at the 6 positions).
Xanthan gum is widely used as a stabilizer, emulsifier and thickener in foods such as salad dressings, sauces, frozen foods (ice creams), beverages and dairy products ,also used in toothpaste, gluten-free baking.
Some people are allergic to xanthan gum, with symptoms of intestinal gripes, diarrhea, temporary high blood pressure, and migraine headaches.
