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.
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.
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.
