Xanthan: Biotechnological Production and Applications
Louise C. Candido da Silva,Brenda Neres Targino,Marianna M. Furtado,Miriam Aparecida de Oliveira Pinto,Mirian Pereira Rodarte,Humberto Moreira Húngaro +5 more
TL;DR: Although it is an established industrial process, the main challenges and research interests include the use of alternative substrates for obtaining a satisfactory yield, the removal of the microbial cells, solvent reuse, and alteration of the biopolymer structure to improve its properties.
