Xanthan gum FNCS

What is Xanthan gum FNCS

Xanthan gum FNCS (Food-Grade Non-Clouding Solution) is a specialized form of xanthan gum that, when dissolved in water or other liquids, creates a clear or transparent solution. This clarity is a key feature, making it ideal for products where transparency and visual appearance are important, such as beverages, sauces, and cosmetics. Unlike traditional xanthan gum, which may impart cloudiness to solutions, FNCS-grade xanthan gum ensures that these products remain visually appealing while still benefiting from its stabilizing, thickening, and suspending properties. This makes it highly valuable in applications where maintaining a clear appearance without compromising texture is essential. Explore more about Xanthan gum. ViewPDF
