Tragacanth Gum

Tragacanth Gum – Bulk Supply for Food, Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Industries

Product Overview

Tragacanth Gum (Astragalus spp.), is a natural plant exudate obtained from the roots and stems of Astragalus species. Valued for its thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties, tragacanth gum has been used for centuries in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and traditional remedies. Rich in complex polysaccharides and bioactive compounds, it is particularly recognized for its water-binding capacity, natural fiber content, and medicinal applications.
