A cream style salad dressing. While xanthan is very pH stable, guar is not as stable at low pH, therefore it is important to fully hydrate the guar prior to acid addition. This helps retain some functionality at lower pH. Tween 60 is a very effective emulsifier but it is not acceptable in all countries.

Hydrocolloids can be obtained from a wide variety of sources. The two most abundant polysaccharides are cellulose and starch. Cellulose is the key structural component of trees and is used on a huge scale globally in the pulp and paper industry.

Xanthan was originally discovered in a USDA programme in 1959 to look at novel polysaccharide producing organisms that might have some commercial potential. Several different Xanthomonas cultures have been studied for their xanthan producing properties. It is believed that the original culture of Xanthomonas Campestris was deposited at the USDA in 1953.
