Introducing GPI PureXan Xanthan Gum for the U.S. Market

Xanthan Gum Is Here: Introducing GPI PureXan for the U.S. Market

At Gum Products International Inc. (GPI), we’re always looking for ways to bring our customers closer to the ingredients they need — with less complexity, more reliability, and the quality they’ve come to expect from us. That’s why we’re excited to announce that GPI now offers xanthan gum sourced and manufactured in the United States.

Our new American-made PureXan hydrocolloid products give food formulators access to high-performance, amylase-free xanthan gum — a trusted stabilizer, texturizer, and viscosity modifier — with the added confidence of domestic sourcing. Whether you’re developing sauces, dressings, dairy, bakery, beverages, or plant-based alternatives, these xanthan gum hydrocolloids are built to perform.

Why U.S.-Sourced Xanthan Gum Matters

In an industry where supply chain reliability is just as important as ingredient performance, having access to a domestically manufactured hydrocolloid stabilizer is a real advantage. Xanthan gum is one of the most widely used hydrocolloids in the food industry — and for good reason. It’s a versatile texturizer that delivers consistent viscosity, excellent suspension, and reliable stabilization across a wide range of formulations.

But sourcing this critical hydrocolloid ingredient hasn’t always been easy. Global supply disruptions, extended lead times, and inconsistent quality from overseas suppliers have created challenges for food manufacturers across North America. That’s exactly why we’ve made the investment to bring U.S.-made xanthan gum into our portfolio.

With GPI PureXan (COO: USA), you get:

🇺🇸 Domestic supply chain assurance — shorter lead times, reduced freight risk

✅ Amylase-free formulation — eliminates starch degradation in finished products

🧪 Consistent quality backed by rigorous GPI quality control

🏭 Versatile hydrocolloid stabilizer and texturizer for a wide range of food applications

Meet the PureXan Lineup: Two Hydrocolloid Solutions, One Commitment to Quality

We’re launching with two xanthan gum products, each engineered for specific formulation needs. Both are amylase-free, cold soluble, and functional across a wide pH range — making them reliable hydrocolloid stabilizers and texturizers from development through full-scale production.

GPI PureXan 80AN — The Versatile Workhorse

GPI PureXan 80AN is an 80-mesh, amylase-free xanthan gum hydrocolloid designed for formulators who need dependable thickening and stabilization at low usage levels. This food-grade stabilizer and texturizer delivers consistent viscosity performance at just 0.10% to 0.30% by weight — giving you powerful results with minimal ingredient impact.

What makes it special? By removing the amylase enzyme through our proprietary process, PureXan 80AN eliminates the risk of starch degradation in your finished product. If your formulation contains starch — and many do — this is the xanthan gum hydrocolloid that protects your product’s texture integrity throughout its shelf life.

PureXan 80AN is ideal for sauces, dressings, dairy products, bakery applications, beverages, and plant-based alternatives.

GPI PureXan 200AN — Ultra-Fine for Ultra-Smooth Results

GPI PureXan 200AN takes xanthan gum performance to the next level. This 200-mesh, amylase-free hydrocolloid texturizer features an ultra-fine particle size that disperses more readily than coarser grades, delivering a silky, lump-free, uniform consistency in your finished product.

If you’ve ever dealt with clumps or “fish eyes” when hydrating xanthan gum, the 200-mesh particle size of PureXan 200AN is the answer. It’s specifically formulated with improved dispersion in mind, allowing your production team to work faster and more efficiently without sacrificing texture quality. Like the 80AN, this hydrocolloid stabilizer is amylase-free, cold soluble, and effective at low dosage levels.

PureXan 200AN is the ideal texturizer for fine-textured sauces, smooth dressings, vinaigrettes, ready-to-drink beverages, and premium prepared foods where a flawless mouthfeel is non-negotiable.
