I guess i could use xantan gum if I had to, but a chef told me this stuff has a better taste. Need to know by Monday, Jan. 21st. Appreciate any leads!

Check out Ultratex-3/8 too-It's similiar to xanthan gum with a better mouthfeel. National Starch will send you a free sample if you go to their website.

I would go to their website and look for distributors. Tue Jan 27 13:03:29 -0800 2009 3309562 260996 baker48man
