Sosa XANTHAN GUM 500g
Sosa Xanthan Gum is the ultimate secret weapon for modern chefs and keen home cooks looking to master texture control in the kitchen. Whether you are whipping up a velvety sauce, stabilizing a tricky emulsion, or trying to keep vibrant ingredients from sinking to the bottom of a cocktail, this high-performance texturiser delivers effortless results. It is an absolute must-have for anyone wanting to achieve professional-grade consistency without altering the pure, natural flavours of their food.
What sets this ingredient apart is its brilliant adaptability. Unlike traditional starches that require heat to activate and can leave your dishes tasting floury, this premium powder hydrates perfectly in both hot and cold liquids. It gives you the power to create glossy, elegant finishes with absolute precision, ensuring your culinary creations look just as stunning on the plate as they taste.
Ingredients:
Thickener: Xanthan gum (E415), Maltodextrin
How to use:
Standard Dosage: Use 3g per kg (3g/kg) of your preparation, depending on the desired thickness.
Application Method: To ensure an even, lump-free dispersion, the xanthan gum must be dissolved in a liquid with a water content higher than 80%.
Temperature Requirements: Functions beautifully in both hot and cold conditions. For the best results, use an immersion blender to shear and fully hydrate the powder into your liquid base.
Features
- Natural Origin: Produced through the natural bacterial fermentation of corn starch.
- Dietary Friendly: Coeliac-friendly (gluten-free) and suitable for vegetarian diets.
- Flavour Neutral: Efficiently texturises liquids without dulling or masking the original flavours and colours of your ingredients.
Properties
- Fluid Under Motion (Pseudoplastic): Provides high viscosity and body when at rest, but becomes fluid and flows smoothly when shaken, poured, or agitated.
- Thermal & pH Stability: Maintains its exact structural integrity and consistency across extreme temperature changes, high acidity, and salty or alcoholic environments.
- Freeze-Thaw Stable: Exceptionally resistant to freezing and thawing, effectively preventing syneresis (water separation) in gels, ice creams, and sauces.
