Natural thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing agent high-purity tragacanth gum (plant-derived polysaccharide)
High viscosity grade tragacanth gum derived from natural resin, suitable for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
A natural high-performance polysaccharide, tragacanth gum, improves viscosity adjustment and emulsification stability in food and cosmetics! It is a high-quality material that combines safety and functionality.
Tragacanth gum, a high-purity natural resin obtained by drying and grinding the resin secreted from the plant Astragalus gummifer (Fabaceae), is characterized by excellent emulsification stability, thickening properties, moisture retention, and film-forming ability. It is used in various applications such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, supplements, and pet products. Tragacanth gum is stable against heat, acid, and alkali compared to gum arabic, and is less affected by electrolytes. Even in small amounts, it has a high viscosity and good gel-forming properties, making it ideal as a stabilizer or suspending agent in emulsified products. Additionally, being odorless and tasteless, it is suitable for natural-oriented products as a safe material derived from nature. In addition to food-grade, there are also grades suitable for quasi-drugs and cosmetics. It has a wide range of usage records both domestically and internationally, and is manufactured in factories that have obtained international certifications such as ISO, Halal, Kosher, HACCP, and GMP.
