Product Usage
For best product performance, these usage instructions should be carefully followed: Xanthan gum must be premixed with dry ingredients, such as salt, sugar and spices, before adding to water-based liquids. Always add the dry premix to water-based liquids (i.e. water or vinegar) first. When adding the dry premix to liquids, add gradually, while stirring vigorously with a whisk or electric mixer. Thickening will take several minutes. Once the premix has completely dissolved and thickened (5 minutes or more), oil may be added. To obtain a stable emulsion and avoid oil/water separation, we recommend whipping at high speed with an electric mixer for at least 5 minutes.
For a typical vinaigrette salad dressing, try starting with 2 level teaspoons of xanthan gum per gallon yield. The exact quantity will vary for each particular application.
