Quality Control

Our Gum Tragacanth, Mixt. With 1,2,3 -Propanetriol is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. We ensure compliance with relevant pharmacopoeial monographs (where applicable) and food-grade specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch, detailing key parameters such as identification, viscosity, microbial limits, and heavy metal content.

Storage

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