Key Features of Complex Acetylated Polysaccharide Granules Or Powder

• Its powder is light grey to pinkish grey
• Has a slight acetic taste and odour.
• Does not dissolve in water but absorbs it to form a viscous colloidal solution.
• Viscosity stability depends on time of harvest, climate during harvest, storage conditions including temperature and humidity
• Low concentrations in cold solutions are more viscous rather than in hot solutions.
• High concentrations require cooking of the gum to aid in solubility
• Offered as granules or in powder form.
• The granule size ranges from 4-8 mesh and 8-14 mesh
• Powder size is 160 mesh with viscosity ranging from 500-1200 cps.
• Adhesive property is used in dental compounds
• Colostomy rings
• Used as a bulk laxative.
• Used as a binder, emulsifier and stabilizer in food industry.
