It also helps prevent certain ingredients from separating (for example, the ingredients in a smoothie beverage).
As a food additive, this ingredient is often found in salad dressing, syrups, batters and breading, candies, and baked goods.
Xanthan Gum is also used in the production of non-food products such as toothpaste and cosmetics.
