Acts As A Thickening Powder For The Gluten-Free Baking
Applications!
Xanthan Gum is produced by the pure culture fermentation of the microorganism
Xanthomonas Campestris to yield a type of gel fiber similar to guar gum. It is commonly
used in thickening food products. As the label on the Xanthan Gum powder
suggests this product is used as a baking aid for recipes that use gluten
free flours. Gluten is needed to impart elasticity to the dough which would
allow it hold in the gases formed by fermentation which causes the rising
effect. Xanthan Gum acts as a substitute for the missing gluten in gluten
free recipes.
