After a fermentation period of one to four days, the polysaccharide is extracted from the growth medium with isopropyl alcohol, before being dried and ground into a powder. Source Xanthan Gum is secreted by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris through the fermentation of glucose, sucrose, or lactose. It is stable under a wide range of temperatures and acidity and can thicken liquids without materially changing the colour or flavour of foods or beverages. Adding a small quantity of the gum can produce a large increase in the viscosity of a liquid, so in most foods it is used at concentrations of only 0.5%.

The viscosity of the liquid to which the gum has been added increases while being vigorously mixed or shaken, but thickens back up once this stops.
