Xanthan Gum
Sosa Xanthan Gum Clear is a professional grade thickening agent designed to increase viscosity without turning liquids into a gel. Made from fermented corn starch, it is composed entirely of ingredients of natural origin and is valued for its clean performance and clarity. Unlike traditional thickeners such as cornflour, it works effectively in very small quantities and does not require heat to activate, which helps preserve the original flavour, colour and freshness of a recipe. It blends easily into aqueous liquids and delivers a smooth, stable texture, making it a dependable choice for sauces, purées and coulis where precision and visual clarity matter.

Why is xanthan gum clear different from standard xanthan gum?
It offers the same thickening performance as pure xanthan gum but with greater transparency, making it better suited to clear or visually delicate preparations.
Does xanthan gum need to be heated to work?
No it thickens liquids without heating, which helps maintain the original taste and freshness of ingredients.
Why is precise weighing important when using xanthan gum?
Because it is highly effective in small amounts, accurate dosing ensures the texture remains smooth and fluid rather than overly thick.
