Gum ghatti, also known as Indian gum or gum from the tree Anogeissus latifolia, is a natural gum obtained from the exudate of certain trees. It is classified under the CAS number 9000-28-6. This polysaccharide is primarily composed of galactose and arabinose, and it exhibits properties such as solubility in water, forming a viscous solution that can be used as a thickening agent. Gum ghatti is characterized by its ability to stabilize emulsions and enhance the texture of various products, making it valuable in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. It is also recognized for its film-forming capabilities and is often used in the formulation of coatings and adhesives. Additionally, gum ghatti is considered safe for consumption and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities. Its natural origin and functional properties make it a versatile ingredient in various industries, contributing to its growing popularity as a plant-based alternative to synthetic additives.

Ghatti gum

<p>Gum ghatti is an exudate gum from the tree Anogeissus latifolia found in India and Sri Lanka. Applications are similar to Gum arabic in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where it is used as an emulsifier. The polysaccharide is reported to have an extremely complex structure which contains both oligosaccharides and polysaccharide elements. The polysaccharide contains Ara, Gal, Man, GlcA and Rha in a molar ratio of 61:39:6:10:6, a backbone of (1,6)-linked β-D-galactopyranosyl units and side chains of L-arabinofuranose units with some (1,4)-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid units, some joining (1,2)-D-mannopyranosyl units.</p>
