Xanthan Gum CAS 11138-66-2 Food Additive Grade Candidate from China

Buyer-facing sourcing candidate for xanthan gum CAS 11138-66-2 offered as an off-white to light-yellow free-flowing powder in 25 kg bags. Extracted data indicates food additive/stabilizer positioning with GB1886.41-2015 conformity claimed, 80 mesh pass 99.2%, 1% viscosity reported at 1355 mPa.s in KCl solution, pH 6.6, loss on drying 11.0%, lead, microbiological, yeast/mould, coliform, and Salmonella checks listed. RFQ should prioritize CAS confirmation, grade confirmation, current COA, food-contact/export documents, allergen/GMO status, batch traceability, and clarification of conflicting page data such as formula, frozen storage, and supplier’s main product focus.

Who uses this page

Target buyers

  • Food ingredient importers
  • Hydrocolloid distributors
  • Sauce, dressing, beverage, bakery, dairy, and convenience food ingredient buyers
  • Private-label ingredient packers
  • Industrial formulation buyers requiring food-grade thickener documentation
  • Regional chemical and food additive traders seeking China-origin xanthan gum
Before matching

Documents to check

  • CAS number, grade, assay, and impurity profile
  • SDS, COA, TDS, HS code, and transport classification
  • Destination-market import documents before supplier matching
Package and route

Packing notes

  • Listed transport package: 25 kg/bag
  • Listed specification: 25 kg/bag
  • Packaging material shown as paper; confirm whether inner PE liner is included for moisture protection
  • Request pallet configuration, net/gross weight, container loading quantity, and fumigation status for wooden pallets if used
  • Confirm label language, batch number, production date, expiry/retest date, and country-of-origin marking
  • Clarify storage statement because source page lists frozen storage, which is unusual for xanthan gum powder and may be a data-entry error
Applications and sourcing options

Check whether this product fits the buyer's actual application.

Clear application, grade, package, and document notes help separate real sourcing demand from a vague price check.

Use context

Common applications

  • Food thickening and stabilization where xanthan gum is permitted by local regulations
  • Hydrocolloid blending for viscosity control
  • Dry ingredient premixes requiring controlled mesh size and moisture
  • Export distribution of food additive grade xanthan gum with batch COA support
  • Formulation trials where viscosity, microbial profile, and heavy metal limits are key sourcing checks
How we compare

Sourcing options

  • 25 kg bag trial order subject to sample approval and document review
  • Full-container or multi-pallet supply after specification lock and pre-shipment COA confirmation
  • Custom label or export packing request if supplier confirms capability
  • Alternative mesh or viscosity grade sourcing if standard 80 mesh material does not meet application needs
  • Third-party pre-shipment inspection or lab retest for heavy metals, microbiology, viscosity, and particle size
Human review

Compliance notes

  • Request current COA by batch before shipment and compare against agreed specification limits
  • Request TDS, SDS, food additive declaration, allergen statement, GMO statement, BSE/TSE statement if relevant, residual solvent or fermentation-origin declaration if required by buyer market
  • Certifications claimed on page include ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, and FDA; verify certificate holder name, scope, validity, and issuing body rather than relying on listing text
  • DG/export awareness: xanthan gum is generally shipped as a non-DG powder, but buyer should confirm SDS transport classification, HS code, and destination import requirements
  • Do not treat listing claims as regulatory approval for the buyer’s market; importer remains responsible for local food additive, labeling, and import compliance checks
  • Page claims conformity to GB1886.41-2015; confirm whether product also meets buyer-required FCC, E415, EU, USP/NF, or other target-market standards if needed
  • Verify heavy metals and microbiological limits against destination requirements, not only the supplier’s internal or China standard limits
  • Clarify manufacturer identity and production site because supplier page emphasizes gelatin and collagen lines, while this product is xanthan gum

Questions to confirm
  • Can you provide a recent batch COA for xanthan gum CAS 11138-66-2 matching the listed viscosity and microbiological specifications?
  • Is the offered material food additive grade, and which standard is guaranteed on the COA: GB1886.41-2015, FCC, E415, or another specification?
  • Please confirm the correct molecular/formula listing for xanthan gum, as the page formula appears inconsistent with xanthan gum.
  • Is the product manufactured by your own facility or traded from another xanthan gum producer? Please provide manufacturer name and site address for audit documentation.
  • What is the viscosity test method, including concentration, salt type/concentration, temperature, spindle/speed, and hydration time?
  • Can you confirm particle size options, such as 80 mesh or 200 mesh, and provide retained-on-sieve data?
  • What are the standard impurity controls for lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, residual ethanol/isopropanol if applicable, and microbiology?
  • Can you provide SDS, TDS, COA, allergen statement, GMO statement, food-grade declaration, and certificate copies before order confirmation?
