Gum Ghatti is complex polysaccharide and occurs as a calcium magnesium salt. It mainly consists of L-arabinose, D-glactose, D-mannose, D-xylose and D-gluconic acid. It is nearly odourless and bland in taste. Its colour varies from light to dark brown; the lighter the colour the better the quality. It is 80-90% soluble in water and forms a colloidal solution in cold or hot water. The viscosity depends on time of harvest, climate during harvest, storage conditions including temperature/humidity and may decrease after storage over 6 months.Dried powder Karaya gum Karaya gum 1 High quality 2 Viscosity 25 cps to 1000 cps 3 Solubility in water Low solubility to ve IntroductionGum Ghatti, a natural polysaccharide, is the exudate of Anogeissus latifolia, a large tree native to the dry deciduous forests of India. It derives its name from the word 'ghats', which means passes, through which is used to be transported. The exudate is amorphous and translucent in apperance and is commonly found in colours ranging from yellowish white to reddish brown. ProcessingAfter picking, the gum is dried and then classified by colour, size and amount of adhering bark.
