Gum from Tamarind Seed

Gums are used in industry because their aqueeres  solutions or dispersions possess suspending and stabilizing properties.  In addition, gums  may produce gels, act as emulsifiers,  adhesives, flocculants,  binders,  film  formers,  lubricants,  or  friction reducers,  depending  on  the shape and chemical  mature  of  the particular gum. Jellose  (Polysaccharide)  is an  excellent substitute  for fruit pections in the manufacture of jams, jellies and marmalades. Treatment with citring acid decreses the undersirable toughness. The jellose is also  much used in confectionary,  especially in  U.S.A.,  and  some  European Countries.   Its  use  has  been recommended in preparing jujubes, as a stabilizer in ince  creams and mayonnaise, and in sizing, finishing and printing the fabrics of  cotton  and artificial silk. It can be also  be  used  either alone or in combination with gum tragacanth in printing –  pastex with most, if not all, colours.  It can be used in cosmetics, and in Pharmaceutical and insecticidal preparations. It is also  used as an adhesive in book binding, cardboard manufacture and plywood industry, and in sizing and weighting compositions in the leather industry.
