What is it about?

The xanthan gum production from crude glycerin, a primary by-product of the biodiesel industry with environmental and health risks, was evaluated. Crude glycerin is a cost-effective and alternative substrate for non-food grade xanthan production. Based on its physico-chemicar characteristics, crude glycerin has potential as a cost-effective and alternative substrate for non-food grade xanthan production.
