Gum Karaya

Colony Gums makes their documentation available in the regions indicated below:

Gum Karaya is a stabilizing, binding, and thickening agent derived from the sterculia uren tree in India. Karaya, at 0.2­–o.4% alone, or at 0.15% locust bean gum, stabilizes ice pops and sherbets by preventing the formation of large ice crystals and preventing the migration of free water or syneresis. Karaya, used in meringue powders, enables a greater volume of meringue to be prepared from a fixed amount of protein. In cheese spreads, 0.8% or less, Karaya is used to prevent water separation and to increase spreadability. Its acidic nature is not objectionable in these dairy products. Karaya, Carrageenin and locust bean gums have been used to stabilize natural and imitation whipping cream.
