Product Information
Persian gum is an exudate polysaccharide obtained from mountain almond trees. It is also traded under names including Zedo gum, Zedu gum, Farsi gum and Angum gum.
The accepted botanical name of the source plant is Prunus scoparia (Spach) C.K.Schneid. Amygdalus scoparia Spach is its scientific synonym.
This product should not be confused with gums collected from cherry, peach, apricot or plum trees. Those trees also produce natural gum exudates, but their gums come from different botanical species and may have different compositions and functional properties.
Persian gum is also different from gum Arabic and gum tragacanth. Buyers comparing natural hydrocolloids may review our bulk gum Arabic and bulk Katira gum product pages.
The exact product form, particle size and commercial specification supplied are stated in the buyer’s quotation and order documentation.
Physical Characteristics
The appearance and functional characteristics of Persian gum naturally vary according to the tree, collection area, season, gum age, cleaning method and processing conditions.
Typical physical characteristics include:
- Form: Irregular natural tears, pieces or lumps
- Colour: Pale cream, yellow, amber or light brown
- Surface: Smooth, glassy or slightly rough
- Texture When Dry: Hard and brittle
- Odour: Mild to nearly neutral
- Condition: Cleaned and dried natural gum
- Processed Forms: Granules or powder may be available upon request
Hydration, solubility, viscosity and other functional properties can vary between different production lots and processed forms. Buyers requiring specific technical performance should evaluate a representative sample before confirming a commercial order.
Applications of Bulk Persian Gum
Persian gum has been studied as a natural hydrocolloid with potential binding, thickening, stabilising, emulsifying and film-forming properties.
Potential commercial and research applications include:
- Food Formulation Research: Evaluation in emulsions, confectionery, dairy products, beverages, bakery products and other formulations requiring texture or stability modification
- Pharmaceutical Formulation Research: Evaluation as a natural binder, suspending material, encapsulation carrier or formulation aid
- Cosmetic and Personal Care Products: Evaluation in gels, creams, masks, emulsions and other formulations requiring thickening or film-forming properties
- Coatings and Films: Research into biodegradable coatings, films and packaging materials
- Adhesives and Binders: Evaluation in selected natural adhesive and binding formulations
- Paper and Textile Applications: Research into paper treatment, textile printing and related industrial processes
- Product Development: Technical trials involving Persian gum alone or in combination with other hydrocolloids, proteins or formulation ingredients
The suitability of Persian gum for a particular application depends on the selected lot, processing form, required performance and applicable regulations. Buyers should conduct their own formulation, stability, safety and regulatory evaluations before commercial use.
Commercial food, pharmaceutical, supplement and cosmetic use is subject to the laws and authorisation requirements of the destination country.
