:Karaya gum
Description:
Karaya gum, with the CAS number 9000-36-6, is a natural gum obtained from the sap of the Sterculia tree, primarily found in India and Africa. It is a polysaccharide composed mainly of galacturonic acid and is known for its thickening, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. Karaya gum is typically a white to yellowish powder that is soluble in water, forming a viscous gel, which makes it useful in various applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is often utilized as a dietary fiber and is recognized for its ability to absorb water and swell, which can aid in digestive health. Additionally, karaya gum is non-toxic and generally regarded as safe for consumption, although it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals when consumed in large quantities. Its unique properties also make it valuable in the formulation of adhesives and as a binding agent in various industrial applications.
