“…The carbon source is the most significant component of the xanthan gum‐producing medium since it has a direct impact on the yields, compositions, structures, and technical features of bacterial exopolysaccharides. Also substrate cost is the most important factor that increases the production cost of xanthan gum and represents nearly 30% of the total cost (Bhat et al, 2022). Therefore, recent studies have focused on the use of various abundant and inexpensive wastes such as tapioca pulp (Gunasekar et al, 2014), sugar cane broth (Faria et al, 2011), rice bran (Demirci et al, 2012), waste bread (Demirci et al, 2019), kitchen waste (Li et al, 2017), winery wastewater (Ronceevic et al, 2019), and cheese whey (Niknezhad et al, 2015).…”
