Abstract
⺠Polysaccharides are used as thickeners, stabilizers and gelling agents in food products. ⺠Some microorganisms can produce over 40 g Lâ1 of EPSs that represent an industrially untapped market. ⺠An inventory was made of the main EPSs produced by microorganisms (yeasts, bacteria, microalgae). ⺠Bacteria produce the greatest diversity of molecules and quantities of over 10 g Lâ1. ⺠Secretory mechanisms exist in microorganisms but extraction methods is often necessary.
