Product Highlight

Through an incision in the upper part of the root, the resin exits in the form of twisted ribbons. After drying, the rubber is exported. We grind and treat it to minimize the microbiological load. Gum tragacanth consists of a mixture of water-soluble polysaccharides and forms a highly viscous, odorless and tasteless solution. The solutions are heat-stable and can be used under a wide pH range. There are many grades with different colors, viscosities and prices.
