Abstract：The effect of 0 - 0.8% xanthan gun （XG） on the quality of pork sausage with wormwood leaf powder （PMSW） gels, which contained the powder of 1.5%, was investigated in this paper. The results showed that the addition levels （〉0.2%） of XG could significantly decrease CL （P〈0.05）, and the addition of XG above 0.4% significantly decrease b＊ value （P〈0.05） and chewiness. Moreover, the WHC significantly increased （P〈0.05） at 0.8% level of XG, while both hardness and chewiness significantly decreased （P 〈 0.05）.
