Cassia Gum Semi Refined

Cassia Gum (Semi Refined Grade) is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from the endosperm of Cassia tora or Cassia obtusifolia seeds. This grade is processed to remove impurities and obtain a high galactomannan content, but it undergoes less purification than food-grade cassia gum.

As a result, semi refined cassia gum is ideally suited for non-food industrial applications where thickening, binding, and gelling properties are required without strict food safety specifications.

Key Properties

Moderate Purity: High galactomannan content with controlled levels of husk and other plant materials.

Cost-Effective: Suitable for industrial use where full refinement is not necessary.

Functional Performance: Excellent viscosity and water retention properties.

Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable and derived from a renewable plant source.

Applications

Pet Food Industry (Canned): Used as a gelling and binding agent in wet pet food formulations (where local regulations permit).

Textile Industry: Acts as a sizing agent and thickener for dye pastes.

Mining & Explosives: Used as a binder and viscosity modifier in slurry formulations.

Paper Industry: Enhances paper strength and surface properties.

Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in non-edible formulations for its emulsifying and stabilizing effects.
