Xanthan gum is available in small quantities at Health Food stores, fairly 
expensive $8.50-9.00/6oz pkg. It will add viscosity but does nothing as a 
preservative.  Mix with sugar or other powders, or add to oil before adding 
to water or vinegar solutions. Let stand 3-5 min stir, use blender for 
maximum thickness. Usage level start at .25% by weight and adjust from there 
depending on thickness desired.
