Description

Ghatti Gum CAS NO 9000-28-6 is a natural polysaccharide gum exuded from the stems and branches of the *Anogeissus latifolia* tree. It serves as a highly effective emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickening agent, prized for its ability to form stable, low-viscosity solutions over a wide pH range. This versatile hydrocolloid is essential for formulators in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural, label-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in flavor emulsions, beverage clouding agents, and dairy products like ice cream. It acts as a binder and texturizer in processed meats and baked goods.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as a binder and disintegrant in tablet manufacturing, a suspending agent in liquid syrups, and a stabilizer in emulsions and creams.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent in lotions, creams, hair gels, and toothpaste, providing a smooth texture and enhanced stability.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized as a binder in watercolor paints, a sizing agent in textiles and paper, and a viscosity modifier in various technical formulations.
• Dietary & Nutritional Products: Serves as a source of soluble dietary fiber and a texturizing agent in health supplements and functional food products.

Quality Control

Our Ghatti Gum is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. We adhere to Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) specifications and can supply grades compliant with relevant industry requirements. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, microbiological limits, and physical parameters, ensuring traceability and consistent performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent caking and degradation from atmospheric moisture.
