Abstract

In this chapter we present a general overview of xanthan including its applications, biotechnological production, and challenges. Xanthan is an exopolysaccharide obtained by fermentation using bacteria of the genus Xanthomonas . Its rheological properties and stability in a wide range of temperatures and pH make this biopolymer one of the most important commercial ingredients produced by microorganisms. The basic steps for producing xanthan are the preparation of the bacterial inoculum and substrate, fermentation, cell removal, recovery, and purification of the final product. Factors, such as the bacterial strain, substrate, growth conditions, and solvents used in the recovery can influence xanthan production. Although it is an established industrial process, the main challenges and research interests include the use of alternative substrates for obtaining a satisfactory yield, the removal of the microbial cells, solvent reuse, and alteration of the biopolymer structure to improve its properties.
