Gum Karaya

AEP Colloids, Inc. makes their documentation available in the regions indicated below:

Gum Karaya is the dried exudate of the Sterculia urens tree found in India. 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. Much like Gum Tragacanth, Gum Karaya does not form a solution in the usual sense but absorbs water rapidly and swells to create the acidic colloidal solution. Some uses include salad dressings, meat binder and meringue.
