Abstract

Microbial polysaccharides are commercially attractive because of their specific properties such as high viscosity and gelling properties, compatibility with a wide variety of salts within a broad range of pH and temperature, high-water solubility, and synergy with other polysaccharides. They were developed for use as thickening, suspending, stabilizing, viscosity-increasing, gelforming agents in aqueous systems (Paul, 1986).
