Tragacanth is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of several species of legumes.
Tragacanth contains 10-15% water, 3-4% minerals, and 3% starch. This gum consists of two components called tragacanthic acid or basorin and tragacanthin. Basorin is insoluble in water and accounts for 60-70% of this gum and has the ability to swell and form a gel. Tragacanthin is dissolved in water and leads to the creation of a colloidal solution. The properties of Tragacanth gum are related to Basurein. The dried gummy secretions are obtained from the plant species Gon. The goon plant is native to Middle East and Far East.
