Xanthan gum also helps suspend solid particles, such as spices. Also used in frozen foods and beverages, xanthan gum helps create the pleasant texture in many ice creams, along with guar gum and locust bean gum. Xanthan gum is also used in gluten-free baking. t is also a preferred method of thickening liquids for those with swallowing disorders, since it does not change the color or flavor of foods or beverages.

Xanthan Gum is used as a rheology control agent in aqueous systems and as a stabilizer for emulsions and suspensions.
