Powdered Xanthan Gum
Toufood Xantana is a high-performance xanthan gum powder designed to thicken and stabilise both hot and cold liquids with ease. Known for its strong thickening ability, it creates smooth, uniform textures without the need for heat, making it particularly useful for cold preparations.
When blended into liquids, it disperses quickly to form sauces, creams and purées with a slightly elastic, cohesive texture that holds well without becoming heavy. It is especially effective in maintaining consistency over time, helping liquids stay evenly mixed without separating.
Only a small amount is needed to achieve noticeable results, making it a practical choice for everyday cooking. From glossy dressings to perfectly textured sauces, xanthan gum offers reliable control over consistency while keeping the original flavour intact.

How much xanthan gum should be used in recipes?
It is typically used at very low levels, often around 0.1% to 0.5% of the total liquid weight. Adding too much can result in an overly thick or slightly gummy texture.
Why is xanthan gum good for cold liquids?
Unlike many traditional thickeners, xanthan gum hydrates and thickens without heat, making it ideal for cold sauces, drinks and dressings that need immediate consistency.
Can xanthan gum improve the texture of blended drinks?
Yes, it can add body and a smoother mouthfeel to blended drinks, helping ingredients stay evenly suspended rather than separating over time.
