Chemical Structure
- Cassia gum is comprised of at least 75% high molecular weight (approximately 200,000-300,000) polysaccharide consisting primarily of a linear chain of 1,4-?-D-mannopyranose units with 1,6 linked á- D-galactopyranose units.
- The ratio of mannose to galactose is about 5:1.
- The composition of saccharides is: mannose (77.2-78.9%), galactose (15.7-14.7%) and glucose (7.1-6.3%).
- Like most polysaccharides, the following formula applies: (C6H10O5)n.H2O. Cassia gum is related to carob bean gum, tara gum andguar gum in terms of structure and chemical properties.

Physical Properties
- Cassia gum is hot water soluble and requires heating to fully solubilise and reach full viscosity in aqueous solutions.
- Cassia Gum is comprised of at least 75 % polysaccharide consisting primarily of a linear chain of 1,4-ß-D-mannopyranose units with 1,6 linked ä-D-alactopyranose units.
- Cassia gum forms firm thermoplastic gels with carrageenan.
- Cassia gum and xanthan gum, on their own, do not have the ability to form gels. But cassia gum combined with xanthan gum, aqueous dispersions of cassia gum form cohesive, elastic gels.
- Cassia is known as one of the best gelling agent, thickening additives, emulsifying additives and stabilizing additives.
