Herein, an enhanced green production of xanthan gum has been achieved by utilizing orange peels. Response surface methodology and kinetic modeling were adapted for the process optimization and its influence on scale up production respectively. Optimal conditions for the maximum xanthan production were 1.62% acid hydrolysis, 85% carbon source of orange peel hydrolysate and 30.4°C temperature. Furthermore, the optimized treatment was conducted in the batch culture fermentor to observe the associated variations during scale up process. In bio-fermentor, to the first time ever, xanthan production along with reducing sugar conversion and utilization rates reached 30.19g/L, 69.29% and 99.99%, respectively. Employed characterization techniques of FTIR, XRD and HPLC confirmed the fermented product as xanthan gum and obtained an average molecular weight of 1.01×10g/mol. This work on account of optimized process parameters presented maximum xanthan production from a waste material.

Xanthan gum (XG), recognized for its environmentally friendly properties and versatile capabilities, has been studied for drilling fluid applications. However, its limited solubility and thermal stability restricts its broader use. In this study, a modified XG derivative, XG-g-KH570 modified SiO, was synthesized by grafting XG with KH570-modified nano-SiO.

The inherent propensity for aggregation necessitates the use of high concentrations of protein-polysaccharide nanoparticles to achieve stable Pickering emulsions. This study employed xanthan gum (XG) to mitigate the pronounced aggregation of zein nanoparticles by structure construction, thereby enhancing the emulsifying efficiency of zein/XG (Z/XG) nanoparticles. The Z/XG nanoparticles displayed significantly enhanced dispersity, with the absolute ζ-potential increasing from 6.

The effects of 1 % xanthan gum (XG) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) on the physicochemical and structural properties of triticale gluten (TG) during fermentation were investigated. Rheological analysis revealed that the addition of XG or HPMC decreased G' and G″ values, while increasing tanδ and recovery strain of triticale gluten during fermentation. Thermal gravimetric analysis demonstrated that triticale gluten added with XG after fermentation exhibited the highest residual mass, showing a 9.

The microencapsulation of Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus GG in a matrix of sodium alginate, xanthan gum, gum arabic and chitosan hydrochloride is a promising strategy for protecting this probiotic during passage through the gastrointestinal tract. This study evaluated the influence on the viability of Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus GG encapsulated with these polymers by external ionic gelation with vibratory extrusion and the microcapsules that showed the best results of capsulation efficiency, viability, size and morphology were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal analysis (TGA) and exposure to environmental stress conditions and gastrointestinal simulation. The result revealed encapsulation efficiency values above 95 % for all formulations and survival rate higher than 6 log CFU/mL for most analyzed groups.

Article Synopsis
  • Conventional in-situ hydrocarbon remediation technologies struggle with high costs and limited effectiveness, making aqueous foam injection a more promising solution for better volumetric sweeping efficiency.
  • This study focuses on polymer-enhanced foams (PEFs), specifically examining how Xanthan Gum (XG) biopolymer affects foam stability and flow in contaminated soils, using two types of PEFs: one based on Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and another blending SDS with Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultane (SC).
  • Results show that XG enhances foam stability through increased viscosity and improved interactions with surfactants, leading to higher recovery rates of hydrocarbons compared to traditional methods, suggesting a valuable avenue for future remediation efforts
