Tara Gum Powder
Tara gum is a natural polysaccharide obtained from the endosperm of the seeds of Caesalpinia spinosa. It appears as a white to cream-colored powder and functions as a thickening, stabilizing, and viscosity-modifying agent. Tara gum is dispersible in water and forms viscous solutions depending on concentration and temperature.
Usage and Applications
Tara gum is used in food, cosmetic, and industrial formulations as a thickener and stabilizer. It is incorporated into dairy products, sauces, desserts, beverages, and bakery products to modify texture and viscosity. In cosmetic and personal care formulations, it is used in creams, lotions, and gels.
Typical usage levels depend on the formulation type and required viscosity.
Storage Instructions
