  1. xanthan gum doesnt need to be heated to activate fully ?

    Huh. I guess i was misinformed – I thought it needed 150F.

  2. For free-gluten muffin baking, do we dissolve xanthan gum in the water first (e.g like this video) and followed by the dry ingredients OR do we straight away mix xanthan gum with the dry ingredients? Please do more videos on xanthan gum in baking. Thank you for sharing 🙂

  3. Sir 0.5% of liquid material like oil and water or 0.5% of total product volume which has oil, onion, garlic, etc.

  4. Being on a Keto diet and was looking for a non carb thickener, first time I tried it I wanted to thicken a gravy and ended up with a glob it didn’t dissolve, it must be blended in water as shown in the video and then added to a gravy. ????

  5. The shear thinning property of xanthan gum is called pseudoplastic and not thixotrophic. Solutions of Xanthan Gum immediately get back to the same viscosity when shear or stirring or pouring is stopped
