Title:
PRODUCTION OF XANTHANE GUN BY EMULSION FERMENTATION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5860997
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Preparation of xanthan gum is effected by dispersing an aqueous xanthamonas culture medium in a water-insoluble oil such as a hydrocarbon or vegetable oil. Such dispersions generate substantially less viscosity and as a result, fermentation can be carried out to a higher polymer content with less energy input.
