Tianqing flour is a natural polysaccharide polymer extracted from the endosperm of legume seeds, primarily composed of D-galactose and D-mannose in a ratio of 1:2.
Tianqing gum powder is a white or pale yellow powder with good water solubility and viscosity. At room temperature, it can disperse in cold water to form a high-viscosity water-soluble gel solution, whose viscosity is generally 5 to 10 times higher than that of natural plant gums, sodium alginate, and starch.。
Chemical Composition and Physical Properties
The main component of Tienjing gum powder is galactomannan, which boasts a high total sugar content and average molecular weight.
Its chemical properties are stable, maintaining stability within the pH range of 6 to 11. The viscosity is high at pH 7.0 and low at pH 3.5. The Sesbania gum powder can form a high-viscosity, elastic gel with a three-dimensional network structure when it interacts with transition metal ions in complexes, demonstrating excellent anti-saline properties.
Application Fields
Tianqing gum powder is widely used in various fields:
Food IndustryUsed as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer to enhance the quality of food.
PetrochemicalsFracturing fluids for well fracturing, water-based explosives for production, catalysts for the refining industry, etc.
。Papermaking IndustryEnhances paper strength, flexibility, and extensibility as an additive.
Ceramic IndustryAs an additive for clay, it improves the plasticity and green strength of the clay
。Other Industrial: As an additive for industries such as flocculation, water treatment, drilling, ore dressing, metallurgy, and pharmaceuticals
