Xanthan gum is a food additive used as a thickener or stabilzer, preventing ingredients from separating. It is often found in sauces and salad dressings, preventing oil from separating from the rest of the ingredients.

Xanthan gum is also used in gluten-free baking. It gives the dough the stickiness that would otherwise be achieved with wheat gluten.

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide produced by the fermentation of lactose, sucrose, or glucose.
