TARA GUM - Uses and synthesis methods

traits

Sycamore glue is white to yellowish powder. Slightly acetic acid. Insoluble in water, but deacetylated with alkali to form an aqueous solution, soak in water to form a gel, insoluble in ethanol, and swell in 60% ethanol. The 1% suspension has a PH value of 4.5-4.7 and a viscosity of 3.3Pa.s. It can be decomposed by heat and its viscosity decreases. It is unstable when it is above 85 degrees and can adsorb water 100 times its volume.

introduction

sycamore gum is a slightly sour natural macromolecular polysaccharide with a molecular weight of up to 9 million dalton. The rubber powder does not dissolve into a real solution in water, but greatly absorbs water and expands into a gel (which can be increased to 60-100 times the original volume. The solubility in water is maximum at pH 6-8; the viscosity of the solution also changes with the change of pH. Generally speaking, adjusting the pH value of the glue solution after it is fully hydrated has much less effect on viscosity than direct acidification. The solution of sycamore gum is light color under acidic conditions. However, the color is deepened under alkaline conditions. Below the 0.5% concentration, the relationship between concentration and viscosity is still proportional. The solution with a concentration above 0.5% already has non-Newtonian fluid characteristics. Both temperature and electrolyte storage affect the viscosity of the solution. Rubber powder is not dissolved into

in water

scope of use

frozen dairy sweet 0.3%, dairy 0.02%, soft candy 0.9%, other food 0.002%.

safety

In 1986, the UN FAO/WHO stipulated the daily intake (ADI) of tala gum as "no restriction", which is internationally recognized as the safest food additive.

production method

It is made by grinding the endosperm of legume spinosa (Caesalpinia) seeds.
