Description
Tragacanth gum is an secretion from several shrub species of the genus Astragalus found in arid regions of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey.
Tragacanth gum consists of a complex mixture of acidic polysaccharides including galacturonic acid, Galactose, fucose, Xylose and Arabinose.
Tragacanth gum is available in the form of off-white, translucent plates (fiori) or a yellowish powder (biondo).
It is a soluble fraction, when added to water it dissolves, while an insoluble fraction, bassorin, swells.
The gum tragacanth solution is prepared by soaking the powder with alcohol, then adding water and shaking.
Aqueous solutions are slightly acidic with a pH of 5-6.
Tragacanth is used in textile sizing and printing, crayon production, leather curing and furniture polishes.

Tragacanth is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of various Middle Eastern legumes of the genus Astragalus.
Some of these species are known collectively under the common names "goat thistle" and "weed".
Tragacanth gum is sometimes called shiraz gum, shiraz, gum electric, or gum dragon.
Its name derives from the Greek words tragos (meaning "goat") and akantha ("thorn").
Iran is the largest producer of this gum.
Tragacanth gum is a viscous, odorless, tasteless, water-soluble polysaccharide mixture obtained from the sap filtered and dried from the root of the plant.
The gum tragacanth oozes from the plant as twisted strips or flakes that can be pulverized.
The gum tragacanth absorbs water to become a gel that can be mixed into a paste.
Tragacanth gum is used as an edge-shifting and polishing compound in vegetable tanned leather processing, and is sometimes used as a hardener in textiles.
Tragacanth gum has historically been used as an herbal remedy for conditions such as cough and diarrhea.
Powders using tragacanth as a basis were sometimes called diatragacanth.
It has been used as a topical treatment for burns as a mucilage or paste.
Tragacanth is used as an emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer and texturing additive in pharmaceuticals and foods (E number E413).
Tragacanth is the traditional binder used in making artists' pastels, as it does not stick to itself as other gums (such as gum arabic) do when dry.
Tragacanth gum is also used to make a paste, which is used in confectionery to create brittle and colorable lifelike flowers that air-dry on wires used as cake decorations.
Tragacanth gum allows users to achieve a very fine and precise result in their work.
Tragacanth has traditionally been used as an adhesive in the cigar wrapping process, used to secure the cap or "flag" leaf to the finished cigar body.
In the Middle East, and especially in Turkey, tragacanth is used in paper marbling to make the size on which the pigments will float and shape, just as carrageenan is used in the West.
Tragacanth gum is also used in incense making as a binder to hold all the powdered herbs together.
The water solubility of tragacanth gum is ideal for ease of working and even spreading, making it one of the stronger gums for keeping particles in suspension.
Only half is required compared to gum arabic or something similar.

as food
Tragacanth is common in Indian cuisine.

Source
Tragacanth is a gum obtained from the dried sap of various shrub species of the genus Astragalus, commonly known as Goat Thistle.
The plant is native to western Asia and southeastern Europe, where Iran and Turkey are the leading producers.

Botanical
The tragacanth species consists of low-growing, thorny shrubs native to the mountainous regions of the Middle East.
Tragacanth is obtained from branches and roots. The gum dries out as it oozes and must be collected quickly.
The name "tragacanth" is derived from the Greek words tragos (meaning "goat") and akantha ("thorn"), which describe the appearance and texture of raw gum.

History
Tragacanth has traditionally been used as an emulsifier, thickening agent and suspending agent.
It has also been used to manage diarrhea and as a sedative in cough and cold preparations.
Tragacanth is currently used in foods and dressings, denture fixatives, and to thicken ice cream.
Tragacanth is also being investigated as a new drug delivery vehicle.

chemical
Contains tragacantic acid, D-galacturonic acid, D-xylose, L-fructose, D-galactose and other sugars.
It consists of gum tragacanth, uronic acid and arabinose; Bassorin swells to form a thick gel, while it dissolves in water to form a viscous colloidal solution.
The maximum viscosity of tragacanth gum is reached only after 24 hours at room temperature or after 8 hours of heating at elevated temperatures.
The viscosity of these solutions is generally considered to be the highest among plant gums.

Uses and Pharmacology

Gum of Tragacanth, Molecular Biology and Cell Biology
Tragacanth gum is a natural binder that helps other ingredients stick together.
In contact with water, it swells slightly and takes on a muesli texture that softens and soothes the skin.

Tragacanth is a group of plants of the genus Astragalus cultivated for its gums.
The species most commonly used for this production, Astragalus gummifer, is native to Western Asia.

Gum is a type of resinous sap that exudes from certain plants (usually from the Fabaceae family) when injured.
It is a protective system like a bandage to prevent dehydration, infection and insect bites.
It has been collected and used in cosmetics, incense and medicine for centuries, the most popular being acacia gum.

Geographic Resource
Various gum-bearing species of Astragalus are abundant in the mountainous regions of Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and the former USSR at altitudes of about 1,000–3,000 m.
Two important varieties of tragacanth, namely Iranian tragacanth and Smyrana or Anatolian tragacanth, come from Iran and Turkey, respectively.
It is found wild in Kumaon and Garhwal region in India.

Cultivation, Gathering and Preparation
Most of the plants from which tragacanth is collected grow at an altitude of 1,000–3,000 m.
The bushes are very thorny; Each of its compound leaves has a thick, sharp pointed rachis that persists after the leaflets fall off.
The collection pattern differs slightly in different counties, but the following collection details are typical in the Far province.

Tragacanth gum can be obtained from plants in its early years, but is later said to be of poor quality and unsuitable for commercial use.
Therefore, the plants are cut in the second year.
The soil is taken from the base to a depth of 5 cm, and the exposed part is cut with a sharp knife with a thin cutting edge.
A wedge-shaped piece of wood is used by the collector to force the tragacanth gum to open up the incision so that it can come out more freely.
The wedge is usually left in the cut for about 12-24 hours before retracting.
Tragacanth gum infiltrates and is collected 2 days after the incision.
After cutting, the top of some plants is burned.
The plant then gets sick and gives a larger amount of gum. However, this practice is not universal, as many plants fail to regain their vigor and die as a result of burning.
Gum obtained after burning is of lower quality than that obtained by incision alone, and is reddish and dirty-looking.
The crop becomes available in August-September.
Once collected, the gum is classified into strips and flakes, which are divided into several subclasses on the basis of shape, size, and color.
The best grades make up the official medicine, while the lower grades are used in the food, textile and other industries.

Usage Examples
For gluing tragacanth gum to paper, a strong tragacanth gum containing one-eighth of its weight in wine spirit is the best answer.
Large surfaces that are left flat are also washed with tragacanth gum, because this sizing does not leave any marks.
Most bugs that are too small to be pinned to a #2 pin can be fixed to cardboard with tragacanth gum, shellac gum or any good glue.

Tragacanths are low-growing, thorny shrubs native to the mountainous regions of the Middle East.
Tragacanth is obtained by touching branches and roots.
As the gum tragacanth oozes, it dries up and collects quickly. The word tragacanth is said to derive from the Greek words tragos (meaning goat) and akantha (thorn), which can describe the appearance and texture of raw gum.
Iran is the largest producer of this gum.
