The many cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications of this Xanthan Gum include the use in tooth pastes, lotions, shampoos, and formulations for tablets. Xanthan Gum is used as a baking aid in recipes which require gluten free flours. Gluten is needed to impart elasticity to the dough which would allow it to hold in the gases formed by fermentation which causes the rising effect. Xanthan Gum acts as a substitute for the missing gluten in gluten free recipes. Those who suffer from gluten allergies should look for Xanthan Gum as an ingredient on the label. Xanthan Gum is used in dairy products and salad dressings as a thickening agent and stabilizer. Xanthan Gum prevents ice crystals from forming in ice creams.
