How Xanthan Gum Works as a Natural Thickener
Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide created through fermentation and is valued for its unique ability to thicken liquids at low concentrations. It forms a stable network within liquids, improving texture, mouthfeel and consistency. Because of its effectiveness in tiny amounts, it has become a staple in gluten-free baking, helping mimic the elasticity and structure normally provided by gluten.
