Talk:Xanthan gum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The viscosity of xanthan gum solutions decreases with higher shear rates, this is called pseudoplasticity. May someone explain what this means? --Abdull 19:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] It's a thickener, isn't it?
But the article would suggest that it's a stabiliser and not that good at thickening, due to high shear rates - which is correct? DavidFarmbrough 14:05, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
