Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content (2014)
Journal Article

Introduction: The bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan is a well-known hydrocolloid, with a high viscosity deriving from its large molecular weight and volume.
Materials and methods: Four different xanthans deriving from Xanthomanas campestris -two w... Read More about Comparative heterogeneity, molecular weights and viscosities of xanthans of different pyruvate and acetate content.
