Cassia Tora Hydrocolloid: Exploring its Potential as a Key Material for Diverse Applications- A Review
Cassia Tora Hydrocolloid: Applications
Abstract
Cassia Tora hydrocolloid, a versatile natural polysaccharide gum, is a valuable resource with diverse applications in various industries. The composition and structure of Cassia Tora Gum is characterized by galactomannans, offering excellent thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties. The production of Cassia Tora Gum involves extraction from the seeds through a series of processing steps to obtain a high-quality gum product. Its applications range from being a suspending agent in pharmaceutical formulations to a thickening and stabilizing agent in food products. Overall, Cassia Tora Gum stands out as a promising natural hydrocolloid with a wide array of uses, its unique composition, versatile chemistry, and beneficial properties that cater to the evolving needs of different sectors. The market for Cassia Tora gum will also be boosted by an increase in customers who are becoming more conscious of their health and by the growing desire for clean label products.
