Acetan is... an anionic polysaccharide with a cellulosic backbone but with a pentasaccharide side chain consisting of alpha-L-Rha-(1->6)-D-Glc-(1->6)-alpha-D-Glc-(1->4)--D-GlcA-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3) linked to every other glucose in the backbone. Acetan, therefore, has a chemical structure closely related to that of xanthan. 2, record 1, English, - acetan

Effect of bacterial exopolysaccharide xanthan on the wheat protein properties. Abstract : Exopolysaccharide xanthan has been studied for its effect on protein substances of dough and gluten isolated from meal of different wheat varieties. It is shown do strengthening of gluten removed from the dough to which was added xanthan(0. 1-. 50% of meal weight) is determined by the decrease of gluten protein solubility in 0. 05 M acetic acid solution and 12% sodium salicilate solution. Gel chromatographic analyses of proteins has shown that xanthan addition to dough results in the changes of their fractional composition and molecular weight of definite fractions, in the increasing of molecular weight values of both glutenin and glyadine fractions. 1, record 2, English, - glyadine

Of the thousands of different polysaccharides that can be microbially produced the best-known is xanthan, which is made by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. This colloidal substance is added to many foods as a stabilizer and thickener, and the petroleum industry is beginning to include it as an ingredient in drilling muds. 1, record 4, English, - xanthan
