Industrial Applications:
- In petroleum and gas producing industries the Gum Karaya is used in formulations of drilling fluids in removing calcareous deposits in the wells. Gum Karaya added to the lime-base drilling fluids to prevent water loss after reducing its viscosity by heating at 90oc. for 10 hrs.
- Paper and Pulp: Gum Karaya is used in the paper industry for the manufacturing of certain special quality papers. It deflocculates the fibres and serves as binder for fibres. Use of Gum Karaya results in light weight sheets of improved formation and strength.
- Leather and Allied Products: In leather industry it is employed as an ingredient of dressing compositions and in proportions for accelerating the tannin action weighing compositions. Gum Karaya is also used in the manufacture of collagen fibre material.
- Miscellaneous Industrial Products: Low grade gum served as a more efficient binder in the briquette (a block of compressed coal dust).
Food Industry Applications:1) Sugar: Acceleration of settling rates of first carbonation juice in beet sugar manufacture can be accelerated by the addition of small amount of a dilute solution of a natural gum such as Gum Karaya. The addition of gum / stabilizer improves the quality of juice.
2) Meats: Gum Karaya serves as a less adhesive water absorber in the final ground meat products and as an emulsifier and binder during meat processing. Gum also gives the product a smooth appearance. During meat processing such as chapping, curing, smoking, cooking, chilling, the added Gum Karaya acts as an emulsifying and binding agent by absorbing moisture and stored product.
3) Salad dressings: In salad dressing Gum Karaya is used as a stabilizer byincreasing the water, oil emulsion and thereby preventing or slowing separation.
4) Sauces, Condiment Bases, Ketchups, Sweet pickle : In the above items Gum Karaya acts as a stabilizer on 0.1% to 1% by increasing the viscosity. It retards the movements of solid particles or liquids of different density.
5) Baked Foods: A mixture of karaya and arbic gums gave some good results as an emulsifying agent, Gum Karaya mixture & biscuits improves the appearance, symmetry, grain and tenderness whereas in bread it increases the volume and improves the softness, symmetry, extreme, cream color, taste, odour.
6) Karaya gum can be used in making synthetic
pulp for fruit juices because of its cold water swelling property.
7) Medicinal Uses: Gum Karaya also used for constipation, liverticular disease and as laxative. Also used to osmotic aids through gum which is from powder,paste, ring, disk, a sheet board advantageous only the other adhesive plasters and cements specially immediately after post surgical core of skin / sensitive skins or in soothing to skin, less likely to produce softness, darker support microbial growth.
Sores and Wound: It found that the application of powdered Gum Karaya stimulated granulation and healed the resistant bed sores in few patients. Gum Karaya powder packed in to open wounds increased the normal granulation tissue and also resulted in good epidermal in growth.
Gum Karaya is also used in dentine adhesive, medical adhesive tapes for the treatment of stomatities and also used in preparation of pressure-sensitive masking tapes, medical jellies, pastes.
8) Cosmetics: The film forming property of Gum Karaya makes it useful in the hair setting preparations of hair dressing lotions and finger wave lotions for the beauty trade.
9) Other Uses: Also used in linoleum, Ice creams, Jellies, Varnishes, Inks,Rubber compositions, Oil cloth, Paper coating, Polishes and Engraving process.
