KELTROL GM is a food-grade xanthan gum suitable for use in food preparations where delayed hydration is desirable. KELTROL GM provides excellent suspension for insoluble solids and oil droplets in food applications. It exhibits low viscosity while processing and fully recovers viscosity after shearing, reducing dust exposure and improving general housekeeping. KELTROL GM disperses well in low shear applications and allows for delay in viscosity development of food solutions. It is typically used at a level of 0.05 - 0.5 wt% and will disperse easily in hot or cold water without the need for high shear mixing or a dispersant. KELTROL GM is compatible with and stable in solutions containing high salt concentrations and soluble and stable in both acid and alkaline conditions.
