Function:
Arabinogalactan is a neutral polysaccharide composed of arabinose and galactose. This sugar is contained in large amounts in the xylem of coniferous trees, especially up to 25% in larch (Larix). It can be extracted from wood flour with water.
Usage:
Thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers, compatibilizers, polishes, binders. Used for emulsifying essence; the base of seasoning, sauce and pudding, etc. Substitute gum arabic.
Packaging& Storage:
25kg/ fiber drum, stored in a cool and dry environment.
