Abstract

Polysaccharides, in the last decades, have received particular attention due to their potential for wide variety of applications in the pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals field. Xanthan is a natural polysaccharide, produced by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. This biopolymer displays several appealing characteristics for pharmaceutical applications, among which its high thickening capacity should be highlighted. In this review, we describe critical aspects of xanthan, contributing for its role in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications. Physicochemical properties, biosynthesis, production process, as well as downstream process are described. The pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical applications are discussed in specific.
