SCLEROTIUM GUM is composed of glucose molecules, containing β-1,3-glucose and β-1,6-glucose, with a β-1,6-glucose side chain connected to every three β-1,3-glucose molecules. The presence of glucose side chains enhances the hydrophilicity of SCLEROTIUM GUM.

Properties of SCLEROTIUM GUM

• SCLEROTIUM GUM aqueous solutions have a high yield value in a static state, giving the system suspension power and the ability to stabilize emulsions.

• It forms a pseudoplastic fluid, allowing high viscosity systems to flow under the application of shear force.

• The SCLEROTIUM GUM aqueous solution can remain stable over a wide pH range.

• Under very strong alkaline conditions, SCLEROTIUM GUM undergoes conformational changes, resulting in a decrease in viscosity.
