Because of its relative stability to heat, acidity, and aging, Tragacanth is widely used as a thickener and stabilizer in pourable salad dressings of the regular and low calorie types. For similar reasons, it is used in relish sauces, condiment bases, sweet pickles, liquors, and mayonnaise. It is used at about 0.4–0.75% in the above products. Tragacanth provides clarity and brilliance to frozen pie fillings and toppings in which suspended fruit, fruit purees and flavors are used.
