别名 黄原胶 ;黄胶、汉生胶
性状
是一种自然多糖和重要的生物高聚物，无气味。有吸湿性。由甘蓝黑腐病野油菜黄单胞菌以碳水化合物为主要原料，经好氧发酵生物工程技术产生的。可以溶于冷水和热水中，具有高粘度，高耐酸、碱、盐特性、高耐热稳定性、悬浮性、触变性等。在低浓度时经搅拌即成粘稠溶液。水溶液为高假塑体。
1952年由美国农业部伊利诺斯州皮奥里尔北部研究所分离得到的甘蓝黑腐病黄单胞菌，并使甘蓝提取物转化为水溶性的酸性胞外杂多糖而得到。
用途 ： 生化研究。食品、非食品和化妆品用稳定剂和乳化剂。
生化和生理学机理
Xanthan gum is an anionic polysaccharide composed of a β-(1→4)-D-glucopyranose glucan backbone with side chains of (1→3)-α-D-mannopyranose-(2→1)-β-D-glucuronic acid-(4→1)-β-D-mannopyranose on alternating residues. Approximately half of the terminal mannose residues are 4,6-pyruvated while most of the inner mannose residues are 6-acetylated. Its properties make it a useful matrix component for drug delivery systems. It forms stable drug suspensions in aqueous media and soft gels with locust bean gum or guar gum. Xanthan gum mimics the texture of lipids and is used as a control in experiments where signaling pathways initiated by consumption of lipid-containing reagents are investigated in**.
