Abstract
⺠Xanthan was crosslinked by heating esterification, forming hydrogels. ⺠Tensiometry allowed understanding the swelling mechanism of xanthan hydrogels. ⺠Quasi-Fickian, Fickian and Anomalous Diffusion were observed for hydrogels. ⺠Swelling degree increased at high pH values due to ester linkages rupture. ⺠Swelling degree was affected by salts, depending on gel composition and salt.
