Water soluble gums are derived from a variety of botanical sources including seeds (guar), seaweed by extraction (carrageenan) and beet sugar fermentation (xanthan). Gums are used as stabilizers, thickeners and bulking agents. They improve mouth feel, appearance and pourability, extend shelf life and build viscosity.
