Tamarind gum

Tamarind gum (CAS 39386-78-2 ), derived from the seeds of the tamarind tree, is a natural polysaccharide used commercially as a thickener, binder, and moisture-retention agent. It delivers effective rheology control across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations where clean-label or natural-origin ingredients are preferred. In food manufacturing, it functions as a stabilizer and thickener in sauces, confectionery, and dairy-based products, offering texture performance comparable to other seed gums. Personal care formulators incorporate it into gels, creams, and hair care products. In these applications, it provides film-forming properties and sustained moisturization without synthetic alternatives. In pharmaceutical applications, it serves as a tablet binder and controlled-release matrix component, supporting consistent drug delivery profiles. It also finds use in textile sizing and paper coating, where its film-forming and adhesive characteristics improve surface finish and process efficiency. Tamarind gum is supplied as an off-white to cream-colored powder. Food-grade specifications are the most commercially prevalent, with technical-grade material available for industrial textile and paper applications. Buyers should confirm moisture content, viscosity grade, and particle size to match specific requirements. This versatile ingredient ensures stability and texture across diverse industries. Its natural origin makes it a preferred choice for modern formulations requiring high performance and regulatory compliance in global markets. Contact us for supply of Tamarind gum Request Quote
