description Increasing numbers of exopolysaccharides and their properties have been explored. However, the difficulty of extracting high-viscosity exopolysaccharides has hindered their further industrialization. In this research, we explored a strategy based on encapsulated structure control under different pH to efficiently extract <i>Pantoea alhagi</i> exopolysaccharides (PAPS). Results showed that at pH levels of 6, 12, and 13, the extraction efficiency of PAPS was elevated, and the yield did not decrease. The rheological properties of the pH−12-treated PAPS were better than those of PAPS treated at pH 7, while the pH−6-treated PAPS decreased. The effects of pH−12-treated PAPS on soil macroaggregates and soil’s water evaporation rate were similar to those of PAPS treated at pH 7. In addition, we observed that treatment at pH 12 produced a significantly reduced encapsulated structure compared with treatment at pH 7. The proportion of unsaturated fatty acids after treatment at pH 12 was higher than after treatment at pH 7, which may result in reduced encapsulated structure in pH−12 conditions. These results enrich the understanding of the effect that alters pH conditions on the encapsulated structure to improve the extraction efficiency of exopolysaccharides and provide a theoretical basis for the extraction of exopolysaccharides with extreme viscosity.
