Cassia Gum Powder Manufacturer
One of the top producers of cassia gum in India, cassia gum is a food additive derived from the endosperm of cassia obtusifolia, sometimes referred to as cassia tora or senna obtusifolia. The repeating components of cassia gum, a naturally occurring polymer, are mannose and galactose. After being heated, cassia gum swells in water to produce a high viscosity. The refined flour obtained from the endosperm of the seeds of the leguminosae family plants Cassia obtusifolia and Cassia tora is known as cassia gum. Typically, these seeds are tainted with C.occidentalis seeds. From these tainted seeds, the seeds used to make cassia gum are often chosen at random. Before initiating the process of seed splitting, the seeds of Cassia tora and Cassia obtusifolia undergo grading by machines that separate them based on size. C. occidentalis seeds are reduced to no more than 0.05% during this process, which also removes the undeveloped seeds.
