Sosa - Thickener
Xanthan Gum - 500 g
E415 thickener obtained through corn fermentation, stable when hot, cold, and in acidic environments.
Sosa Xanthan Gum (E415) is a thickener obtained through the natural fermentation of corn starch. It thickens and stabilizes preparations without altering their flavor or color, both hot and cold, including in acidic environments (fruit juices, dressings).

Behavior
Recommended applications
- Coulis and sauces with a smooth, glossy texture
- Smooth soups and veloutés without cream or starch
- Syrups and glazes with controlled consistency
- Gluten-free baking: restores the elasticity of alternative flours
Please note: disperse the xanthan gum in the aqueous liquid using a whisk or immersion blender, mixing vigorously to prevent lumps. Let it sit for 1 to 5 minutes so the viscosity can fully develop: 2 g/kg for a fluid, coating consistency; 5 g/kg for a thick, stable consistency.

Frequently asked questions
Does xanthan gum work in an acidic environment?
Yes, this is one of its strengths: it remains stable in fruit juices, dressings, and acidic preparations, where other thickeners lose effectiveness.
Can it be used in gluten-free baking?
Yes, it helps restore the elasticity and structure of doughs made with alternative flours, as a complement to gluten-free blends.
How can lumps be avoided during incorporation?
Disperse the powder in the liquid using an immersion blender rather than a simple whisk, and let it sit for a few minutes before assessing the final texture.
