Chemical Structure and Physical Properties of Cassia Gum Cassia gum is comprised of at least 75% high molecular weight (approximately 200,000-300,000) polysaccharide consisting primarily of a linear chain of 1,4-β-D-mannopyranose units with 1,6 linked α- D-galactopyranose units. The ratio of mannose to galactose is about 5:1. The composition of saccharides is: mannose (77.2-78.9%), galactose (15.7-14.7%) and glucose (7.1-6.3%). Like most polysaccharides, the following formula applies: (C6H10O5)n.H2O. Cassia gum is related to carob bean gum, tara gum andguar gum in terms of structure and chemical properties.Method of Manufacturing Cassia Gum Powder:The seeds are dehusked and de-germed by milling and screening of the endosperm. Cassia Gum is high molecular weight (approximately 200,000 - 300,000) polysaccharides composed of galactomannans; the mannose:galactose ratio is about 5:1. Semi-refined Cassia gum normally containing detectable amounts of anthraquinones. The raw material seed is subject to different mechanical cleaning steps in order to remove other impurities, such as, farm waste, undeveloped seeds and stones. After cleaning raw material is subject to a de-husking and splitting process. Thermal and mechanical treatment removing husk and germ from the seeds resulting in splits. Finally the splits are ground to a uniform small particle size powder.Cassia Gum is mainly used as a: Gelling AgentThickenerEmulsifierStabiliserBonding agent About the Company GST Registration Date: Jul 2017 Legal Status of Firm: Partnership Number of Employees: 51 To 100 People Annual Turnover: 100 - 500 Cr company-description: Since its incorporation in the year 1982, Altrafine Gums has gained a market reputation of being one of the largest manufacturers and exporters of quality Guar Gum Powder & Organic Gaur Gum.
