Xanthan gum is a common food additive that is used as a gluten alternative. Gluten is the protein that gives wheat flour its structure. Xanthan gum is typically used with non-gluten-containing flour to produce gluten-free goods with good structure and texture. This demand is driven by the growing awareness about health risks associated with gluten consumption, such as celiac disease, as well as FDA and USDA regulatory standards limiting the amount of gluten in food products. For instance, according to the FDA's gluten-free food labeling rule, all products labeled "gluten-free," "no gluten," "free of gluten," or "without gluten" must have fewer than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Moreover, xanthan gum is a vital gluten-free baking ingredient because it helps baked goods hold together and develop elasticity. Further, xanthan gum is used in gluten-free baking for various products, including cakes and pancakes, cookies, muffins, quick bread, pizza dough, bread, and salad dressings. Among these, xanthan gum is often utilized in the making of pizza dough. The nutritional value of xanthan gum, which includes carbs and fiber, also increases its acceptability. In addition, xanthan gum is used in gluten-free products to improve the texture and shelf life. It works similarly to gluten in terms of keeping baked goods moist and soft. However, gluten, which accounts for around 75% of the protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can cause significant intestine damage and raise the risk of cardiovascular events in celiac disease patients. Hence, consumers facing gluten-intolerance issues and other health-related problems caused due to gluten are demanding gluten-free products, which is further raising the demand for gluten-free food products, thereby boosting the xanthan gum market.
