Rhodopol xanthan gum is a water-soluble, anionic polymer and confers unique properties to aqueous formulations.It is specially designed for industrial use and its unusual molecular structure gives the applications performance you need.Rhodopol xanthan gum gives a guarantee of performance in industrial applications.The molecular structure of xanthan gum consists in a long cellulosic backbone of glucoseunits with a trisaccharide chain attached, on average, to everysecond glucose unit.Approximately half of the terminal mannose units of the trisaccharides are pyruvated. Xanthan gum's secondary structure involves the trisaccharide chains wrapping around the cellulosic backbone, offering some degree of protection of its b-1,4 links.The molecule is thought to exist as a double stranded helical chain which is rather rigid or rod-like and quite impenetrable to enzymes and hydrolysing agents.The rigid and highly protected conformation of Rhodopol xanthan gum which has unique properties compared to other commonly used water-soluble polymers for industrial applications.

Rhodopol xanthan gum suspends and stabilises all types of inclusions in solution.It has slurry stability in solids,emulsion stability in liquids and foam stability in gases.Formulations containing Rhodopol xanthan gum remain stable even in flow during pumping.Rhodopol xanthan gum has a guaranteed shelf life of 2 years but like all natural products xanthan gum is susceptible to bacterial degradation in solution.Preservatives need to be added if xanthan gum solution is intended to be stored over a period of time.
