Viscosity of Xanthan Gum at various concentrations

Discover the viscosity and flow properties of properly hydrated Xanthan gum solutions in this informative video. The samples showcase a range of viscosities up to 6%, all achieved through the utilization of a Silverson High Shear mixer.

It is important to note that while a food-grade Xanthan gum was used in this demonstration, results may vary depending on the brand and grade of gum utilized. The mixing system will also play a crucial role in the final viscosity obtained as inadequate dispersion and hydration can cause agglomerates in the mix which will ultimately reduce the thickening effect's efficacy.

This example illustrates the viscosity and flow characteristics that can be expected with maximized yield when a solution is prepared using a Silverson mixer.
