Colony Gums Fenugreek Gum is the most soluble and dispersible of all the major hydrocolloids, aiding in it’s ease of use with a wide variety of processing equipment. The ability of Fenugreek Gum to deliver viscosity is influenced by the presence of soluble cations and electrolytes and the application pH.

Colony Gums Gum Ghatti is used as an alternative to Gum Arabic/Acacia since around 1900. The largest application for Gum Ghatti in the U.S. has been in powdered oil-soluble vitamins and as an emulsifier (oil in water emulsions).

Colony Gums Gum Karaya is in external use pharmaceutical products and denture adhesive. It is also used in the paper and textile industries. In foods, Gum Karaya is used as a thickener and emulsifier in sauces and salad dressings. It is also used as an adulterant in Gum Tragacanth due to the similarity in physical characteristics in the raw state.

Colony Gums Cassia is an approved food additive in Japan (ca. 1995) and can be used for human food applications in the EU (ca. 2010).

Colony Gums Konjac exhibits the highest molecular weight and strongest ability to add viscosity once fully hydrated. Konjac Gum although slow to hydrate fully, does exhibit some of the usage challenges of other cold water soluble thickeners (Xanthan, Cellulose Gum.

Colony Gums Agar is a dried hydrophilic which is extracted from the seaweed.

Colony Gums Guar Gum is derived from the ground endosperm of the guar plant, Cyamoposis tetragonolobus, family Leguminosae.

Colony Gums Tara Gum lie in thermally-processed foods —whether frozen, stored refrigerated or stored at room temperature.

Colony Gums Gum Arabic is the dried, gummy exudates from the stems or branches of the Acacia Senegal or of related species of Acacia. Almost all of the world output of Arabic is from the sub-Saharan zone of Africa.

Colony Gums Alignate deliver thickening or gelling functionality based on the polymer type, usage level and presence of calcium ions.

Colony Gums Xanthan Gum is a versatile cold water soluble thickener which also forms synergistic elastic gels when heated with other hydrocolloids.

Colony Gums Gellan Gum is a hydrocolloid produced through fermentation processes.

Colony Gums Carrageenan is extracted from seaweeds harvested throughout the world, have established their position within the food, household, and personal care industries as uniform gelling, thickening, and texturizing agents of high quality.

Colony Gums CMC is a safe thickening agent.

Colony Gums Locust Bean Gum is a thermally processed food stored frozen, refrigerated or at room temperature. This fall into two major groups: thickeners and gelling systems both which also include moisture management.
