Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-xanthan gum yalinganiselwa ku-US$860 wezigidi ngonyaka ka-2017 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ifinyelele ku-US $ 1.27 billion ngo-2026, ngesilinganiso sokukhula saminyaka yonke esicishe sibe ngu-4.99% ngesikhathi sokubikezela.
Imakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-xanthan gum ihlukaniswe ngegwebu, umsebenzi, isicelo kanye nesifunda.Ngokuya ngegwebu, imakethe ye-xanthan gum ihlukaniswa okomile noketshezi.Ama-thickeners, ama-stabilizer, ama-gelling agents, ama-fat substitutes kanye ne-coatings yimisebenzi yemakethe yomhlaba wonke ye-xanthan gum.Ukudla neziphuzo, uwoyela negesi, kanye nemithi yizindawo zokusetshenziswa kwemakethe ye-xanthan gum.Kusatshalaliswe ngokwendawo eNyakatho Melika, eYurophu, e-Asia Pacific, eMpumalanga Ephakathi nase-Afrika naseLatin America.
I-Xanthan gum iyi-polysaccharide encane esetshenziswa njenge-thickener ezimbonini eziningi ezifana nokudla neziphuzo, izimonyo kanye nemithi.Yaziwa nangamanye amagama, njenge-bacterial polysaccharide kanye ne-corn sugar gum.I-Xanthan gum yenziwa ngokuvubela ushukela wommbila ngebhaktheriya ebizwa ngokuthi i-Xanthomonas Campestris.
Phakathi kwezigaba ezihlukahlukene zemakethe, uhlobo olomisiwe lwe-xanthan gum luthatha ingxenye enkulu, okubangelwa imisebenzi emihle kakhulu ehlinzekwa ngumkhiqizo, njengokusebenzisa kalula, ukuphatha, ukugcinwa nokuhamba.Ngenxa yalezi zici, kulindeleke ukuthi le ngxenye yemakethe iqhubeke nokugcina isikhundla sayo esiphezulu futhi iqhubekisele ukukhula kwemakethe kuso sonke isikhathi sokuhlola.
Ihlukaniswe ngomsebenzi, ingxenye ye-thickener ilinganiselwa ukuthi iyimakethe enkulu kunazo zonke ngo-2017. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwe-xanthan gum njenge-thickener ezinhlelweni ezihlukahlukene zokunakekelwa komuntu siqu njengama-shampoos nama-lotions bekulokhu kuqhuba isidingo saso.
Izimboni zokudla neziphuzo nezimboni zikawoyela negesi zingabathengi abakhulu be-xanthan gum emhlabeni, futhi kulinganiselwa ukuthi lezi zindawo ezimbili ezisetshenziswayo zizobalelwa ngaphezu kwama-80% wesabelo semakethe.I-Xanthan gum ingasetshenziswa ekudleni okuhlukahlukene, okufana nezinongo, izinongo, inyama kanye nemikhiqizo yenkukhu, imikhiqizo yokubhaka, imikhiqizo ye-confectionery, iziphuzo, imikhiqizo yobisi, njll.
Njengoba ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo ekudleni naseziphuzweni, uwoyela negesi, ezemithi neminye imikhakha kuqhubeka nokukhula, iNyakatho Melika ithathe ingxenye enkulu yemakethe.Isidingo esikhulayo se-xanthan gum ezithasiselweni zokudla, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwayo kabanzi ezidakamizweni nasezithebuleni, kwenze isifunda safinyelela ukukhula okuphezulu ngesikhathi sokuhlola.
