Information Profile @ a
Glance
- The natural gum tragacanth
is the sap of several species of Middle Eastern legumes of the
genus Astragalus, including A. adscendens, A. gummifer,
and A. tragacanthus.
- The plants are small, low bushy perennial
shrubs having a large taproot along with branches and grow wildly in the
dry deserts and mountainous regions of South West Asia, from Pakistan to
Greece and in particular, in Iran and Turkey
- Some of these species are
known collectively under the common names goat's thorn and locowed.The
gum is sometimes called Syrian tragacanth.
- Gum tragacanth is a viscous,
odorless, tasteless, water-soluble carbohydrate obtained from sap which
is drained from the root of the plant and dried. The gum seeps from the
plant in twisted ribbons or flakes which can be powdered
- Tragacanth consists of two
polysaccharides of Galactronic acid connected by 1,4 coordination
substituted by Xylose and Oxyxylose.
- Powdered Tragacanth has a white to yellowish white color and no
odour.
- Chemically gum tragacanth consists of two
fractions. One fraction is termed Tragacanthic acid or Bassorin, which
represents 60– 70% of the total gum
- Gum tragacanth has many industrial uses, including cloth finishing,
calico printing and waterproofing of fabrics
- It is used in
pharmaceuticals and foods as an emulsifier,
thickener, stabilizer, texturant, salad dressings, condiments, sauces,
bakery emulsions, fillings, soft drinks, jellies, deserts, flavours
and
spices. |
