Irregular shaped tears form upon drying and are picked and sorted based on size color and amount of bark. When processed to a powder, the color can vary depending on the amount of bark and other foreign organic matter. Gum Karaya is useful in many applications for its properties as a binding agent, adhesive and its ability to absorb large amounts of water.

Some uses include salad dressings, meat binder and meringue. view less | |
