Gumix Gum Tragacanth

Gumix Gum Tragacanth is the dried gum exuded by the stem elements of Astragalus gummifer, or other Asiatic species of Astragalus. This small, bushy perennial shrub is characterized by a relatively large tap root, which, along with the branches, is tapped for the gum. These plants grow wild in sections of the Asia Minor region. The gum exudes spontaneously from cuts made in the bark. The exudate is in the form of ribbons or flakes which become brittle upon drying. After collection, the gum is sorted by hand into various grades. The product is then cleaned, milled, and further processed to conform to sterility standards.

    Features

    Gum Tragacanth swells rapidly in either hot or cold water to form highly viscous colloidal sols, or semi-gels, which act as protective colloids and stabilizing agents. Gum Tragacanth solutions are slightly acidic, usually in the pH range of 5 to 6. The gum is quite stable at high pH as well as at pH as low as 2. Gum Tragacanth is compatible with other plant hydrocolloids as well as carbohydrates and proteins.
