Tara Gum

Tara gum is a galactomannan that offers economical and functional benefits with wide range applications in the food industry. Tara gum is a galactomannan that is structurally similar to guar and locust bean gums. Tara gum is a unique gum that bridges the gap between the cold soluble, highly galactose substituted guar and cold insoluble and lower galactose substituted locust bean gum. The solution viscosities produced by tara gum are highly viscous and short textured compared to the solution viscosities of locust bean gum. Applications: as a stabilizer, thickener, emulsifier, gelling agent, capsular and as a retention agent. Tara gum is also used in pharmacy, cosmetic and animal feed industries.
