Abstract

Fumed silica is added to xanthan gum beer prior to normal isolation procedures. The xanthan gum obtained from this beer is characterized in that it is more readily dispersible than xanthan gum from regular beer. This dispersible xanthan gum does not require vigorous agitation to attain homogenous, lump-free solutions.
