What to know

A polysaccharide (E415) produced by fermentation of glucose by Xanthomonas campestris bacteria; widely used as a thickener, emulsifier, and gluten-free binder. Effective at very low concentrations (typically 0.1–0.5%), where it dramatically increases viscosity and prevents ingredient separation. GRAS; large amounts (above typical food use) may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
