Xanthan gum is widely used in the food & beverage industry as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in products like sauces, dressings, and gluten-free baked goods. In industries such as paint & coatings, oil & gas, plastic & rubber, and construction, it serves as a rheology modifier, improving the texture and flow properties of products like paints and drilling fluids. In personal care, health & beauty, and pharmaceutical products, xanthan gum is used to enhance product consistency and stability in lotions, shampoos, creams, and medications. Additionally, in cleaning and sanitation and animal feed & animal care, xanthan gum helps improve the viscosity and texture of cleaning agents and aids in the delivery of nutrients in feed formulations.
