USE OF PROSOPIS JULIFLORA FOR PRODUCING A WATER-BASED, XANTHAN GUM-LIKE POLYSACCHARIDE POLYMER

摘要

The present invention describes a convenient method of using Prosopis juliflora for producing a soluble, aqueous biopolymer similar to xanthan gum, replacing the production and/or growth media used in the prior art to produce xanthan gum, and providing a significantly more economical process in comparison with the conventional processes for producing xanthan gum.
