A review of the enzymatic, physical, and chemical modification techniques of xanthan gum.
TL;DR: In this paper, different enzymes are reviewed for XG degradation, which modifies their structure from different points (main chain or side chain) and various physical methods (ultrasound, shear, pressure, sonication, annealing, and heat treatments) based on prevailing publications to alter XG conformation and produce low molecular weight (LMW) and less viscous endproduct.
