What is Gum ghatti
Gum ghatti, also known as Indian gum, is amorphous, translucent exudates of the Anogeissus latifolia tree of the Combretaceae family. Gum Ghatti is composed of glucuronomannoglycan (uronic acid and mannose). The gum has a glassy fracture and the color of the exudates varies from very light brown to dark brown, with the higher colored material yielding a higher and better grade of gum.
