What Is E415 Food Grade Xanthan Gum?

E415 is the European food additive code for food grade xanthan gum.It is a high-purity polysaccharide produced through microbial fermentation of carbohydrates,widely used in the food industry as a thickener,stabilizer,emulsifier,and suspending agent.

Under EU food regulations,E415 xanthan gum is approved for use in nearly all food categories,including bakery products,beverages,dairy items,sauces,dressings,confectionery,and gluten-free foods.It functions effectively at low usage levels,provides stable viscosity over wide ranges of temperature,pH,and shear conditions,and helps improve texture,water retention,and shelf stability.

E415 food grade xanthan gum meets strict international food safety standards,including FDA GRAS status,EU food additive regulations,and requirements from FAO/WHO JECFA.It is non-toxic,allergen-free,and suitable for use in vegan,vegetarian,and gluten-free food formulations.
