A-Polymer XT is a physically modified food grade xanthan gum, where xanthan gum is a high molecular weight polysaccharide (MW > 4x106). Xanthan gum is a microbial biopolymer produced by fermentation of carbohydrates and plant proteins by Xanthomonas bacteria. These Xanthomonas bacteria are a naturally occurring organism. Therefore, A-Polymer XT xanthan gum is a natural product of the bacteria and only physically modified (heat treated) with no added chemicals.
