WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MESH SIZES
Xanthan gum comes in various mesh sizes, or particle sizes.
80 mesh is the standard, and this xanthan gum is suitable for all applications. However it is considered the better emulsion stabiliser due to its slightly larger particle size. It also makes syngergistic blends with guar gum.
200 mesh xanthan gum is finer than 80 mesh, and therefore is easier to dissolve and disperse, and it has a quick hydration rate.
