Ester Gum

Product description

Ester gum is a glycerol ester of rosin, produced from food-grade glycerol and refined pine rosin from sustainable forestry. Its main application is in cloudy beverages: as a weighting agent, ester gum adjusts the density of flavor oil emulsions, keeps them stable and prevents ringing or separation in soft drinks with natural citrus flavors. It is also an important ingredient in chewing gum base production. Use in food is regulated in the EU, and we support you with the relevant documentation.
