Usage

Description

Ghatti Gum, also known as Indian Gum, is a complex, water-soluble polysaccharide exudate obtained from the Anogeissus latifolia tree, primarily found in India and Ceylon. It is composed of calcium and magnesium salts of L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-mannose, D-xylose, and D-glucuronic acids. The gum is light to dark tan, insoluble in 90% alcohol, and has a molecular weight of approximately 12,000. It is similar to gum arabic but has more viscous and less adhesive solutions.

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
Ghatti Gum is used as an emulsifier for oil and water emulsions, providing stability to the mixtures. It is also used as a stabilizer in buttered syrups and other food products.
Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Ghatti Gum is used as an emulsifying agent in pharmaceuticals, helping to mix oils and waxes effectively. Its viscosity and emulsifying properties make it suitable for various applications in the pharmaceutical field.
Used as a Substitute for Acacia:
Due to its similar properties to gum arabic, Ghatti Gum can be used as a substitute for acacia in various applications, providing an alternative option for industries that require such substances.
