Gum Rosin & Ester Gum

Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin

Food grade

Description

Glycerol Ester of Gum Rosin is produced by esterifying gum rosin with glycerol. Esterification raises the softening point, improves colour stability and substantially reduces the acid value, giving a resin that behaves far better in sensitive systems than rosin itself.

This is our food grade material, produced and handled to the standard those applications require. It is best known as a density adjusting agent in citrus flavoured beverages, and is also used in chewing gum base.

Applications

  • Beverage emulsion weighting agent for citrus drinks
  • Chewing gum base
  • Food contact coatings and glazes
  • Adhesives requiring low acid value
  • Specialised printing ink systems

Features

  • Produced to food grade standards
  • Low acid value
  • Good colour stability
  • Higher softening point than base rosin
